  • Episode 323: One thing you should NEVER do as a gigging musician
    May 3 2024

    In this episode, Adam and Dan recount their recent gigs and the lessons learned. The main focus revolves around Adam's experience playing a gig in Guntersville, Alabama, at a yacht club, which despite geographical and logistical challenges, ended up being an electrifying event filled with improvisation, unexpected song requests (hello, 'Higher' by Creed), and a solid connection with fellow musicians.

    The episode then shifts to a more serious tone, discussing the toxic culture of gossip within the music community and how it can negatively affect relationships and opportunities. Dan and Adam reflect on the importance of handling disagreements directly with individuals rather than engaging in behind-the-back chats.

  • Episode 322: How TF do you prep for a gig without any info? : The Unwritten Laws of Cover Band Chaos
    Apr 26 2024

    In this episode of the Cover Band Confidential Podcast, hosts Adam and Dan share stories and advice about the unpredictable world of last-minute gigs and the chaotic charm of playing in a pick-up band.

    From unexpected weather chat to sharing personal anecdotes about gigs that went from zero to a hundred with no setlists or clear direction, the duo dives into the essence of what makes these impromptu performances both nerve-wracking and electrifying.

    Dan recounts his experience of performing at a conference with a band composed of industry professionals that have never played together before, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and quick thinking.

    Meanwhile, Adam shares his pre-gig turmoil, facing a wedding performance in Alabama with little to no information, highlighting the challenges and spontaneous magic that can come from being thrown into the deep end.

    The episode not only serves as a testament to the unpredictability of the cover band world but also as a reminder of the joy and excitement that come from the shared experience of live music.
