When you get an opportunity to open a show for a national act, you might start jumping up and down. After all, playing a show with one of your favorite bands is a thrilling experience!

If you want to play more big shows, it’s important to not screw this up!

The process starts long before the show, with professional communication and proper rehearsal of every aspect of your show.

It doesn’t end when the show is over, either. Leaving a lasting impression after the show is extremely easy, but most artists don’t bother.
