Episode 323: One thing you should NEVER do as a gigging musician
from Cover Band Confidential's Podcast (Music Business, Gigging Tips & Making Money as a Musician) · host Coverband Confidential
In this episode, Adam and Dan recount their recent gigs and the lessons learned. The main focus revolves around Adam's experience playing a gig in Guntersville, Alabama, at a yacht club, which despite geographical and logistical challenges, ended up being an electrifying event filled with improvisation, unexpected song requests (hello, 'Higher' by Creed), and a solid connection with fellow musicians. The episode then shifts to a more serious tone, discussing the toxic culture of gossip within the music community and how it can negatively affect relationships and opportunities. Dan and Adam reflect on the importance of handling disagreements directly with individuals rather than engaging in behind-the-back chats.
