Ever had a time when suddenly all the attention was on you? Today's episode deals with two cover/tribute acts who suddenly found themselves in the limelight, and what each of them did about it. 

We apologize for the presence of the phrase "The Pee Band" in this episode.

Among the topics we touched on this week: What it's like when you don't feel like you can trust your rig. (Hint: It's not great.) Plus, now is the time to spend your year's earnings with "tax purposes" as the excuse, so let 'er rip.

This week our first Patreon supporter Adam Runnels co-hosts the podcast and we discuss how to handle a gig where nothing goes right, and how much rehearsal is TOO much rehearsal.

What documentation do you need to do this job professionally? What do you need to sit down at your computer and just create? This week we talk about the documentation, materials, and collateral that your band needs to represent itself well, protect its interests, and communicate with marketers, venues, and technicians!

This week we are pulling an episode previously only available on Patreon for you guys!  Ben Ivey is a full-time audio engineer who has worked with Members Only as well as national touring acts all over the country.  This episode is all about how you as a musician should approach sound checks as well as how musicians can do this kind of work themselves for their own bands.
