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

Welcome to the second half of the Cover Band Coaching Session with Alt95, a 90's-oriented cover band out of Cleveland, coming to the market fresh with a ton to prove. This week, a variety of topics that all end up the same place: Does the audience care? What REALLY matters?

Please join us on http://patreon.com/coverbandconfidential for excellent band chat and a whole range of bonuses up to and including coaching sessions!

This week's #musicianmonday post is a story about someone leaving a crappy review of my band and what I did to get past it and move on.  As you get opportunities to play bigger shows or municipal events, you may experience folks who aren't stoked on your group because they didn't have to pay for it and weren't necessarily there to see you.  This is how you should respond to those.

Our Patreon member Creston Heltzel of the Cleveland 90s band Alt95 is a patron in the highest tier, which entitles him to a live coaching session with Adam and Dan--which he and his bandmates generously allowed us to share with you!

This is part 1 of 2 of that coaching session, where we cover song selection, setlist design, and the band's branding and art choices so far. Next week we'll talk about social media, authenticity, being focused on the audience, and the zen of being a front man!

If you want to join our Patreon community and maybe even get this sort of deep dive into what your band is doing, please hit us up at http://patreon.com/coverbandconfidential.

This week's #musicianmonday post is a recap of how you can use a splitter snake to always have control over your mix on stage regardless of where you're playing.

Sometimes things happen in your band that aren't how you want things to go. People get upset about stuff. Whose job is it to deal with that? What!? Yours!? WTF!!?

Yeah, but no, though. It really is. And it's always an opportunity to create deeper relationships with your players, a bigger sense of yourself as a band leader, and a greater connection between the people in your project and their own value.
