Band Tips

Be true to your word. Many musicians will book a gig and then sub it out when another gig comes along that pays better. While this is a common practice, it’s not advisable. Ultimately you want to give your band members a sense of commitment and loyalty. If they have this, they will work harder to keep you busy.

Original material. Ah yes, we all want to play it. But don’t forget your audience. They don’t always want to hear it! Be sure that they can relate to you first and foremost. Create a healthy balance by giving them some covers. Then work in your originals gradually. As they come to know and like your songs, you’ll have the opportunity to play even more of them.

Band Tips

Go see other bands perform. Watch what they do onstage and how they interact with the people in the audience. Talk to those around you. Ask if they are fans of the band onstage and what they like the most about them. If they are fans they will try to sell you on the greatness of the band onstage. Take some of what they say to heart because if it is good then that is the kind of good stuff you want said about you and your band.
