Gig Gab - The Working Musician's Podcast

What is a Successful Gig?


Listen Later

While you’re playing…how do you define success? Is it seeing people dancing? singing? paying you money? What are the metrics you use? Hear your two favorite weekend warriors share some of their own success stories from this weekend’s gigs. Then it’s time to talk about a few logistical issues with gigging… getting setup, balancing your monitors (in-ears!), getting in touch with bandmates last-minute, and more. Plus, a few gear tips for drummers. All this and more when you press play with Paul Kent and Dave Hamilton. Remember: Always be performing!
