Episode 420: What to Do When You’re the Wrong Band for the Gig

What happens when you realize… *you might be the wrong band for the gig?*In this episode of *Cover Band Confidential*, Adam shares a real situation his band is facing this week. A show that was booked *five months ago* suddenly took a turn when the client realized they expected a *70s band*, not an *80s band*.With the gig only *72 hours away*, the band has to decide:* Do they stick to their 80s show?* Do they pivot and try to match the audience?* Or do they find a compromise that keeps everyone happy?Adam and Dan break down how gig miscommunications happen, the role agents play in the process, and how bands can survive shows where the expectations and the reality don’t quite line up.They also share some classic gig horror stories, including dance gigs that turned out to be the *wrong kind of dancing entirely*.If you’ve ever played live music, chances are you’ve been in a situation like this.And if you haven’t yet… it’s probably coming.Sweetwater Affilate Link: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xJE4rk BACTrack Affiliate Link: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidential  MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBlank 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.com
