Episode 381: 5 things About Musician Insurance That No One Tells You


Listen Later

This week, Adam recounts an absolute **gig-nightmare scenario**: playback dropped, in-ears failed, subs cut out, and nobody knew why. From mystery malfunctions to last-minute workarounds, it's a crash course in what can go wrong—and how to stay professional when it does.

Meanwhile, Dan shares the highs and hurdles of playing his first gig back post-Achilles surgery. From unexpected vocal compliments to near wipeouts at the pedalboard, it’s a reminder that returning to the stage takes more than just heart—it takes *balance* (literally).

🎯 This episode's main event:
**5 Things You Didn’t Know About Band Insurance (Until You Buy It)**
We’re talking real-world lessons from buying an annual policy for the first time in a decade—including:

* Why “$27/month” doesn’t mean what you think it means
* What *isn’t* covered (spoiler: a lot)
* And how being insured can actually help you *land more gigs*

Also in this episode:

* Logic Pro stem-splitting and click-track confusion
* A surprise YouTube milestone (1 million views!)
* Coaching sessions, gear talk, and listener wins
* Our dream of interviewing **celebs with cover bands** (Hank Azaria, Maya Rudolph—call us)

📢 Subscribe, leave a review, and share with your bandmates—because getting insured is easier than explaining to the bride why the sub blew out mid-chorus.
