As a gospel singer who often sings at multi artist events, there is one line I hear over and over from artists that makes me cringe. And I have heard it at local benefits from folk who’s mama told them they could sing all the way up to artists with a big bus that travel 40 or more weeks a year.
And that line is “Don’t listen to how I sing this, listen to the message in the words”
I always think, if you don’t think you’re good enough to be singing that song without an apology, why in the world are you on that stage.
Yes..it happens all the time! Thanks, Dana! Tom
Yeah, I don’t want dead time during a set. it can be a fine line between talking too much and too little. it should definitely sound authentic. I put cues on my setlist page to help. it usually works. #3, I would keep brief though especially if you’re playing a rock “Show”. I don’t want to be giving an interview during the performance, but some connection is fine.
Thanks, Ger! Tom
I love your analogies. Very helpful! See ya in April 21. Can’t wait!
Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you! Tom
I don’t usually do covers, but if I ever do a Led Zeppelin song, I’m totally stealing your line…
“We’re not going to do a little Led Zeppelin, We’re going to do a big Led Zeppelin! 1-2-3-4!”
🙂
Go for it! Tom
