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

Some songs seem straightforward, but when you dig in they're crazy hard. Others seem like they'll be a real challenge, but figuring them out is satisfying and easier than expected. What have you got like that??

No clickbait in THAT episode title! This week the boys talk about what it takes to have pricing leverage in the conversation for bookings with bars and clubs. It's both easier and harder than you think! 

This episode is brought to you by MJ's "Thriller" and every note ever written by Danny Elfman. Happy Halloween, everybody!!

A wedding is a very special, high stakes gig calling for very special attention, knowledge, and care. Check it this week as your boys discuss the details of weddings, who to pay attention to, what matters vs what doesn't, and what it takes to make the lady in white happy.

We keep seeing people complaining about their bandmates on social media. They're lazy! Or they're demanding! They're unmotivated! They're perfectionists!

Maybe the real issue is misaligned intentions. This episode, we dig into the hard conversations and deep honestly required to get a band all lined up on a purpose and mission--and what to do when it's clear you're not.

All things are in harmony and balance here at CBC. Not everything breaks our way, but in the end, you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have an episode of a podcast about band stuff.

This week's (international!) listener question boils down to: How do you create stage signage for maximum impact? Do people still do big backdrops, or is there a more modern way?

Thanks to Northern Ireland's own "Suckin' Diesel" for the question--see them at http://www.suckin-diesel.co.uk/ 

Look. Live Music Karaoke can be great. Like REALLY great. When it's great it's AMAZINGLY great.

But it's a high crowd-contact gig. So when it's not great, it's REALLY not great. This week your boys break down how to have Karaoke work well in a crowd, what to watch out for, and how to make it through when you're beset by entitled, drunken, jackholes. Enjoy!!

It's time to start planning those Halloween gigs, boys and ghouls! But which seasonal tunes should you set your ghostly eye upon? If you pick the right song you'll be sure to s'kill-it-on the big night! As always, we're here to spirit you toward the right answer! 

I always feel like... somebody's listening to my podcast!

Your boys give a big ol' update on the details of their various gigging lives, and then weigh in on a listener email from our new Patron Mark: Is the life of a full-time  musician still a viable thing in 2022? Can it be something to aspire toward?

Well folks we tried to get an episode to you but technology had other plans.  Instead we are providing the audio to the video released on our YouTube channel about imposter syndrome.  Back to normal stuff next week we promise!
