The Value of Prep Time

Gig Gab - The Working Musicians' Podcast

Always Be Performing is our “ABP” here, but there’s another famous one: Always Be Prepared! As musicians, we know how important it is to be prepared for a gig, and that preparation can start as early as you would like.

But what’s the best way to be preparing? Well… it depends upon the gig, and your two favorite weekend warriors have some examples to share! Listen as Dave and Paul talk through some recent (and some not-so-recent) gigs for which specific preparation paid off greatly.

And remember, Always Be Performing isn’t just a mantra… it’s a way of life!
