Gig Gab - The Working Musician's Podcast

Who is Your Band’s MacGuyver? – Gig Gab Podcast 140


Listen Later

First, your two favorite Weekend Warriors talk through creating your own event by answering Kevin’s “What is FLINGFest?” question. This opens up many avenues for Paul and Dave to discuss, and that takes them and you on a journey. For any other podcast that would be enough, but not GigGab. After this, it’s time to talk about equipment problems. Taboo subject, yes, but it’s a necessary one and there’s no fear here. What do you do to prevent equipment issues, and how prepared are you for dealing with them in the moment? All this is discussed, too. It’s like two episodes in one!
