    Nov 25 2025
    Inside the House Band: What It Really Takes To Play an Elite Hollywood Awards Show with Joel Meza — Drummer/Playback Tech, The Career Musician House Band Most musicians see the glitz, the cameras, the red carpet, and the highlight reels… But very few ever get to experience what really goes down behind the scenes of an elite Hollywood awards show—like the Hollywood Music in Media Awards—especially from the vantage point of the house band. In this episode, Joel gives us his reaction to the vlog in which Nomad pulls back the curtain on the discipline, professionalism, and mindset it takes to thrive in one of the most demanding gigs in the industry. As the Music Director, Nomad shares the unfiltered truth: it’s not about chops alone. It’s about Preparation, Precision, Adaptability, Communication, and Respect—the core pillars of both TCM and The ETHOS. You’ll discover: What separates a “good” musician from a trusted musician on a high-pressure show Why consistency, humility, and reliability matter more than flashy playing How the house band becomes the heartbeat of a live broadcast The mental game required to handle last-minute changes, cue-based performance, and artist unpredictability How to show up like a pro, even in the most chaotic backstage environments The real expectations from producers, directors, artists, and MDs The unwritten rules that every elite house-band member lives by How ETHOS values—Energy, Talent, Humility, Objectivity, and Savvy—are the secret to getting called back Why being musical is only half the job—and being a dependable human is the other half Whether you’re a session cat, a touring musician, a rising pro, or a music-biz student, this episode gives you the blueprint for earning and keeping the kinds of gigs most players only dream about. This is the side of the industry no one teaches. This is music professionalism in real time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
