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

This week's episode is NOT about lipsyncing, but it IS about rain! When to start worrying about it on your summer gigs. What to do when it's in the forecast. How to protect yourself, your gear, and your business from inclement inevitability. And how the pros handle it, and what they can turn it into!

Also a hot take on the Foo's new drummer Josh Freese (spoiler: good choice!).

This week we hit two topics that couldn't be further apart: What to play for an audience of grade-schoolers? And what happens when you go old school and market person-to-person with in-venue flyer distribution?

We don't know the answer to either of those things, but by gum we'll talk about them!

This week's special guest is John Pisano from Jukebox Productions. John's got two sibling bands operating in San Diego, CA and Boise, Idaho. He's right at the cutting edge of what an events/weddings band can be. Hear him talk about integrating a DJ into his band, how he evolved his thinking on pricing, and so many other things.

In fact, this conversation has been SO HOTLY ANTICIPATED among the Slack members that they've straight begged to have it release mid-day instead of this evening. THAT'S how very essential John Pisano is.
