Always Be Entertaining

What do you do to ensure you’re always able to entertain an audience? Performing is great, but entertaining is the goal.

Listen as your two favorite weekend warriors talk through this from a few different angles, both as performers and as audience members. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about the songs you select!

Then Dave shares a few aspects of his recent SXSW experience with Paul and all of you, too. Some interesting bands — and band names! — come up, as well as some stories about masterful logistics.

Press play and enjoy…and always be performing! And entertaining!
