Description
Do you want to gig around town and get PAID to play? Of course you do. Whether you're an aspiring pro musician or part-time hobbyist that plays for fun, there is still a very large and lucrative market for local live cover bands.
Sure - it's not a Capitol Records contract - but if you're honest with yourself, work hard, and play to your strengths, you can absolutely take home an extra $2-3k a month from local gigging.
Maybe even double or triple that...
This course is an in-depth conversation between bandmate (Michael) and band leader (Maynard) about what makes our band - What's Next - a successful, multi award winning, $100k+ cover band in the Baltimore / DC area.
In this course we dive DEEP into what we have learned works and doesn't work, based on our combined 30 years of playing professionally. We cover all of the topics you'll need to know including:
- Auditing yourself as a musician
- Building / finding a band
- Auditions
- Practicing vs rehearsals
- Playing to the strength of the band
- Set list construction
- Gear
- Live sound production
