The Mic Stand – Your Cool Tool

by Backstage: Materials, Tools & Skills, Sneak Peek Greenroom: 13 Comments

If you’re a singer/front person, you need to know how to use a mic stand in your show.  A stand, just like a mic or a stool, is a great tool to use for some songs, and if used correctly, can really make a visual impact. First of all, make sure you secure a straight […]

My Purpose = Furthering YOUR Purpose

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 8 Comments

Over the last year I’ve been pondering my purpose in this life, and reflecting some on what I do for a living. Each day I wake up feeling grateful to be able to have a job I look forward to, because I know not everyone is able to make that claim. Now I know it’s […]

5 Onstage Distractions You Should Dump NOW!

by Backstage: Sneak Peek, The Foundation Greenroom: 15 Comments

When we’re helping artists with their shows, we’re teaching them what to do to make their shows come alive. But at the same time there are things they need to STOP doing as well.  Some performers have developed bad habits over time and don’t even realize they are doing them!

Would You Want Free Publicity Like This?

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 8 Comments

I recently was sent a live show review from one of my artists that blew me away. The band is called Nikki’s Wives and based near Toronto.  I’ve talked about them before but this review was one I just HAD to show you, because of its focus on the live performance. The band had played […]

Full Circle Interview

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: Leave a Comment

In 2016, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Full Circle Music.   I would like to share the interview with you, so you’ll need to carve out a little time, get a cup of coffee (or tea….or?…) and sit back to listen to this 48 minute interview/teaching session.     Full Circle Music […]

The Super Bowl, Lady Gaga and YOU

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 5 Comments

Up until late in the 3rd quarter, the most exciting thing about Super Bowl 2017, would have been the halftime show…but the Patriots came from behind and won in overtime…the first overtime in Super Bowl history! Yes, Lady Gaga put on an entertaining show, and by the looks of my Facebook feed that night, an […]

I love doing interviews with music industry people who are trying to help musicians improve their live show.  Here’s the #1 blog on EMusician’s website that I hope will help you, too!!  It was written from an interview I did with Randy Chertkow and Jason Feehan.   Randy Chertkow & Jason Feehan are musicians, authors, […]

Owning It!

by Backstage: Making it Your Own, Materials, Tools & Skills, Sneak Peek Greenroom: 4 Comments

We’ve all had people in our lives probably, telling us to ‘own up’ to something or other.  Or to ‘own’ something – meaning, ‘make it yours!’ Grab on to it and TAKE it. I’m often telling artists while rehearsing that they need to really own it. After we make changes and map out a song […]

Wondering Why You Wander

by Backstage: Materials, Tools & Skills, Sneak Peek Greenroom: 6 Comments

Ever see artists on stage, constantly moving, pacing back and forth across the stage?  Me too…A LOT! Makes me nervous to watch them because they never seem to ‘land’ anywhere.  It can be frenetic and unnerving.  And if the stage floor is eye level, it’s even worse to watch, since the artist’s feet and legs […]

There Must Be Some Misunderstanding

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 2 Comments

     I HATE being misunderstood.  Things I say that didn’t come out right, or something I did being taken the wrong way…maddening!  Makes you just want to buy a TV ad and shout to the world, ‘NO! That’s not what I meant by that!’ or ‘That’s NOT what I do!’      It’s somewhat […]
