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

Most musicians remember the obvious stuff: instruments, cables, strings, sticks, charts, and the gear required to actually play the gig.But what about everything else?This week on *Cover Band Confidential*, we’re building the *Musician’s EGC — Every Gig Carry list:* the non-musical gear that saves your gig, your sanity, your clothes, your car, and occasionally your dignity.We’re talking about the stuff working musicians learn to pack after years of getting burned: sunscreen, bug spray, trash bags, gaff tape, headlamps, air movers, battery packs, magic arms, first aid kits, doorstops, QR codes, breathalyzers, backup shirts, and all the other “why didn’t I bring that?” items that separate the prepared pros from the sweaty disaster goblins.If you play bars, private events, outdoor stages, corporate gigs, weddings, karaoke nights, festivals, patios, or any other vaguely hostile environment with questionable power and zero shade, this list is for you.Chinly Battery-Powered Wireless DMX: https://amzn.to/4wvGSNJ Full EGC List (Affiliate): https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-d417e12d/list/JIHAMNBAO68S?ref_=aipsflistBACTrack Exclusive Discount Store: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidentialAlso in this episode:* Adam’s upcoming 4th of July gig* Live band karaoke prep* Jam Zone testing* Wireless DMX updates* The return of Frozen Coyote accountability* Why gaffe tape is worth the money* Why an air mover beats a fan* Why every gigging musician should probably own a doorstop* And one truly brain-dead comment about in-ear monitorsNeed links, tools, discounts, and resources for working musicians?Check out: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/linksSubscribe for more real-world advice for working musicians, bandleaders, and cover bands trying to make more money, look more professional, and suck less.#CoverBandConfidential #GiggingMusician #WorkingMusician #CoverBand #LiveMusic #BandLife #MusicGear #GigEssentials #EverydayCarry #MusicianEDC #MusicianTips #BandLeader #PrivateEvents #CorporateGigs #liveperformance
