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

Okay so we were being a little dramatic last week saying we'd identified the ONLY three things you needed. OBVIOUSLY there's more! So here's four mor things you need to succeed: Systems, Contacts, Creative, and Data. This week we dive deep on each of those concepts.

AND THEN! Speaking of "data": Introducing the Cover Band Confidential listener survey! Please go to this link to let us know what you love and what you hate about this podcast. The only way we know how to move forward is from YOUR input, so please let 'er rip: https://take.supersurvey.com/QU3DLFS86

Okay hear us out. Insurance is interesting. That's why we did a whole episode on it, rounding up the thoughts we've dripped into lots of episodes in the past. This week the guys tackle the whole deal with gear insurance, annual or event-based liability coverage, who they use, what they pay, what's covered, and what you can and should do about it.

Regular listeners will remember our band coaching session with Creston Heltzel and his band Alt95 from about a year ago. Well in the last few months the Patrons in the Slack have been witness to a whole new opportunity for Creston, one many of us have wondered about. He's just started his Sales Tech training at Sweetwater! We chat about what the interview and onboard process has been like, what it's like to work at Music Disneyland, how to set a band up for success after you depart, and other fine fun things.

This week the boys tackle a topic that came up on the Patreon Slack: When a setlist totally rocks all the way through, what do you do? Keep it around and play it at the next show? And the one after that? Or toss it and start the next one from scratch?  Or take what learning you can and use it to inform the next one? The pros and cons abound!

This week Adam shares about his experience getting his whole entire mind blown by Big Wreck, and we talk about the joy and importance of being a consumer of this stuff too. Getting outside your folded-arms business-person audience membership and let yourself be on the other end of the performer/audience connection for once.

This week the boys discuss a well-trodden topic in a new way: How much content in a backing track is too much? Where does it cross the line and become theater instead of live music? When is that okay?

Also a discussion of our favorite and least favorite creepy crawlies.  It makes sense, trust us.
