from MBJ Enterprises LLC · host Max Baker Jr.
At that time, Rascal Flatts wasn’t just big.They were one of the biggest country bands in America.Arena-level draw. Major production. Real money on the line.And here’s the situation.We’re in Oklahoma. No long résumé of massive shows behind us. No built-in credibility. When that contract comes in for a band that size, it’s not automatic.You don’t just get handed that show.You have to talk. You have to explain the vision. You have to convince them you can actually produce it. Because they’re not giving that kind of act to just anyone.And the numbers?High.Production rider? Serious. Stage specs? Real. Expectations? No room for error.If a band that big believes in you enough to send the contract and say, “Produce it,” you better be ready.There are no second chances at that level.You’re either one and done.Or you’re one… and the door opens for many more.So what do you do?You surround yourself with the best crew you trust. You build the stage. You meet the rider. You execute.Because when you land a show like Rascal Flatts at their peak, it’s not just a concert.It’s a test.And if you pass it, your credibility changes overnight. #HeresTheDealPodcast #RascalFlatts #CountryMusicHistory #ConcertProduction #LiveMusicBusiness #OklahomaShows #ArenaLevel #BehindTheScenes #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
