Episode 388: Block Parties, Bombshells, and Bloody Knuckles

from Cover Band Confidential's Podcast (Music Business, Gigging Tips & Making Money as a Musician) · host Coverband Confidential

Adam’s still losing fights with doors, Dan’s house is held together by hope and 19th-century plumbing, and both are here to remind you: being a musician is mostly about surviving DIY disasters and playing gigs for people who aren’t listening.This week: Adam’s “door saga” leaves him bruised and tool-less (thanks, kids), while Dan’s back on stage post-surgery, dreaming of gigs where the audience outnumbers the band. Adam’s latest gym gig? Let’s just say the kettlebells got more applause.The big question: What’s your perfect gig? For Adam, it’s a Stranger Things block party (with a real cast guitarist, no less). For Dan, it’s rocking the Fourth of July in a sea of people. For  Mike? A corporate gig that pays big and ends before lunch. The moral: The perfect gig is the one that fits your band—and maybe gets you home before rush hour.Bonus: Adam’s dropping a Patreon bombshell, and there’s a discount code for custom guitar picks. Because nothing says “rock star” like handing out your own merch.Tell us your dream gig, and tune in next week—assuming Adam’s house is still standing.MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBOTH Lighting 360 Tubes (Use “DISCOUNT4CBC” to save 5%): https://bothlightingusa.com/collections/all-products/products/360-tubes-copyBlank Contracts & Riders: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contractsBacking Track Resources: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!  If you want to help be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!  Linktree: linktr.ee/adampatrickjohnson                linktr.ee/coverbandconfidentialFollow us on Instagram!@coverbandconfidential@adampatrickjohnson@danraymusicianIf you have any questions please email at:[email protected] supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/coverbandconfidentialOr buy us a cup of coffee!paypal.me/cbconfidentialAnd for more info check out www.coverbandconfidential.comGear Used in this Video (Affiliate):Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Camera: https://amzn.to/3DBqtOyElgato Prompter: https://amzn.to/3X3IAq8 Shure SM7B: https://amzn.to/4dDCJx0 Elgato Stream Deck XL: https://amzn.to/3gKjhqiMagic Arm Camera Friction Mount: https://amzn.to/3SK5yNk
