Be the Somebody

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 5 Comments

“Somebody has to do something about this!” Nearly 20 years ago my wife and I went to Kenya. We had been invited to come and see the work a non-profit organization was doing there. Of course we did the “touristy” things – went on a safari trip, took an overnight train ride, experienced the Indian […]

Too Good for This?

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: Leave a Comment

I just finished two days of work with a band in Baltimore. They are great musicians and have always been told this. Typically musicians of this caliber would say, “We’re good enough, we don’t need any of that Tom Jackson stuff!” To their credit, someone in the band knew their show was still lacking, and […]

Connecting to a Wireless Audience

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: Leave a Comment

This is why I get hired by so many artists and bands: to help them create moments in their show so they can connect emotionally with their audience. If you could take a cord and hardwire it to yourself, then wire that cord into the whole audience so they feel the same thing you do […]

It’s a Process

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 1 Comment

I want you to start the process now, because that’s what it is – a process. I REALLY wish I could just wave a magic wand over you so that you’d “get it” without any work. And if I could manufacture a magic pill for you to swallow so all your live shows would be […]

I Had a Revelation

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 4 Comments

I’ve had colleges on my mind a lot lately. Teaching at Berklee College of Music, talking to music college faculty around the country, discussing my teaching with professors… colleges have been on my mind. Plus, my daughter is a junior in high school, so we’re looking for a college for her. She’s a good softball […]

I Don’t Want to be Interesting

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 6 Comments

I just got off my Facebook. One of the comments I received said “saw you at Immerse…” (an event I just taught in Nashville) “…very interesting.” My mind always goes a million ways when I read something like that. I’m glad someone saw me, and I certainly am glad I held their interest. I even […]

Kicked in the Rear with Love

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 7 Comments

Here we are again. I just finished meeting with a band that has sold over 6 million records, have had several Gold albums, and numerous #1 hits. They have one of the most charismatic front men around, who’s also a great singer! I wasn’t sure what to expect. This group is actually known for their […]

Your Matrix: The Red Pill is Hard to Swallow

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 2 Comments

So the question from last week (Red Pill or Blue Pill) was “I saw you work with that artist, but what should I do?” Thanks for weighing in on what you think artists are really asking! There were some great comments: “We can’t stop learning…I’ve been to several of your conferences…I think the biggest thing […]

I Just Wanna Be Famous

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 10 Comments

As I watched American Idol last Tuesday night, one thing that struck me was the desire for so many people to just be famous. Either legitimately (with talent) or illegitimately (with outrageousness or lack of talent.) Obviously, some just try to get their 15 minutes of fame by doing whatever they can to get some […]
