The Cover Band Central Podcast #209 - TV Shows

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 22:17:26 -0000

Since American Idol debuted in 2002, music contest shows have become ubiquitous. In most cases, singers (and sometimes bands) vie in a competition to achieve stardom. Most don't see anything beyond a few minutes of screen time (if they even get that), but a select few have gone on to major success...all while performing covers to get there.

Steve and Tony discuss this 21st century phenomenon and how it has affected the community at large.

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 21:49:39 -0000

Nobody's perfect. Yes, that is a cliche', but when it comes to being a musician, it's important to remember this. From the kid jamming in his bedroom, to the multi-platinum rock stars, everyone makes mistakes, struggles with confidence, and sometimes wants to throw in the towel. Steve an Tony discuss this and more including Steve working at the Grammy Awards in 1991, this years' Grammys, and the amazing Netflix special "The Greatest Night in Pop."

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 23:53:58 -0000

Whether we are intentional or not, we as musicians are always learning and teaching. We absorb what happens when we play with others, and many of us give our advice joyfully to other players.

Some of us though, who are looking to excel at what we do, seek guidance from those who are accomplished. Today, Steve and Tony discuss their experiences with learning and teaching through the years, the benefits of having an instructor, and delve into the brand new coaching program that Cover Band Central is offering.

Wed, 10 May 2023 22:19:20 -0000

It takes a lot of work to manage a band. You need focus, organizational skills, ability to delegate, diplomacy, motivation, and many other traits to be successful. Bands can get away with less, but the most successful ones have someone in charge that knows what they're doing.

The Cover Band Central Podcast #197 - Play for the gig you want

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 21:31:09 -0000

You've likely heard the phrase "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." That advice can be taken literally in the general workforce to better your chances of moving up the corporate ladder, but it's also a metaphor that attempts to motivate you to strive for more, and to do it in the present. It means—act as if you are in the place or position that you prefer even before you get there.

This nugget of wisdom can also be applied to your musical life and goals. Using visualization and action steps, you can and "should" play for the gig you want, regardless of where you are in your journey. Steve and Tony discuss this and much more in this week's episode.

This podcast focuses on musicians and all that comes along with playing covers—either for fun or work. This week, Steve and Tony explore the other perspective...the cover band fan. What makes a person become a fan of a particular cover band, and what gets them coming back to shows and telling other people about them? The question was asked on the Cover Band Central Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/coverbandcentral), and there were many responses!

The Cover Band Central Podcast #194 - Involving the Audience

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:00:00 -0000

There are two schools of thought with cover band performances. The first is that it's a show, and there is a separation between the band and the crowd. In other words, the fourth wall remains up and there is little to no interaction between the two.

The second is that the people in attendance are actually part of the show...where requests are taken and there is banter back and forth.

On this episode, Steve and Tony discuss the differences and the benefits with each method.

The CBC Wizdumb Hour #191 - Getting people to your shows

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 03:04:00 -0000

In olden days, we used to have to design and print flyers, post them in the venue or places around town, curate a mailing list, send those flyers out to people who like us and hope that they come to the next show. Nowadays with the internet and social media, it is FAR easier and cheaper to advertise your upcoming gigs...yet a lot of people still don't have a grasp on how to effectively do this.

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 02:45:39 -0000

Being a musician—especially in a band—isn't just about being good at your craft. More of the experience is about your relationships with others. You meet new people all of the time, and some become your friends, business associates, or even romantic partners. Over time, you find that these personal relationships become much more important than just playing music.

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 02:28:54 -0000

Playing in a band can often lend itself to being exposed to various legal and illegal substances. There are many stories of overuse by famous artists, at times leading to their demise. In the cover band world, there is no shortage of opportunities to indulge in substance usage, but it can be a slippery slope. Steve and Tony discuss this topic today, and comment on your stories.

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 01:26:05 -0000

Musicians have a habit of getting into competition mode. We all want to be good, but when someone else is perceived as better, we often get envious or discouraged. Well...here's the truth: You're never going to be the BEST. And it serves you much more to just assume that everyone is better than you. That keeps you striving to constantly improve.

Today we welcome drummer Mike Shulte of The Pork Tornadoes—one of the premiere cover bands in the United States. We'll be talking to Mike about how his band has kept busy through the pandemic, what strategies they are using to continue to build their online audience, and much more! We'll also be playing another round of Stump The Drummer to see how well Mike measures up against Tony.

The CBC Wizdumb Hour #127B - Happy Mardi Gras?

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 05:15:43 -0000

Due to rolling blackouts, we got abruptly cut off last night, but we have some stuff to talk about, so here we are again!

Mardi Gras has come and gone with no celebrations this year, and in New Orleans the music community is feeling it. But there are some folks still doing whatever it takes.

We also debut "Stump The Drummer," our little game show that we've been playing for years on the audio only podcast. This is a fun one!
