Onstage Success - Tom Jacksons Live Music Method
Onstage with Live Music Producer Tom Jackson
As a trained Live Music Producer for Tom Jackson Productions, Amy Wolter brings her years onstage as a lead singer & keyboardist - along with her experience as a producer, arranger, and songwriter - to singers and bands who won’t settle for ‘good enough’. She’s worked with artists at all levels, and genres ranging from Rock to Celtic, empowering them to have confidence and authority onstage, and put on memorable live shows, a few of whom have been on two of the largest US tours in recent history. Some of her clients include Grammy award winners The Band Perry & Lacrae, CMA and ACM –winning country acts, Gloriana & Thompson Square, 2016 The Voice contestant Mary Sarah, CCMA (Canada) winners High Valley, Jess Moskaluke & Chad Brownlee, and Winter Jam Tour veterans Sidewalk Prophets & Love and The Outcome.

Hey Greg! A unique situation for sure. Asher is right in saying you need to vary it up with sitting options. Do stand when you can, but make the most of your SIT-uation (ha –sorry!). You should play it up…use different type chairs, stools at different places on stage…maybe they are the same stools, just painted differently. Or make the chairs fit the feel of the song, ie: an easy chair for a laid-back tune, a metal chair for a driving rock song…you get the idea. You could become known as ‘the chair guy’ – it could be part of your ‘thing’! Make sure the mobile people on stage come and interact with you at times. Above all though, make sure you arrange your songs to create some moments, then make the visual match the feel of the song.
To Greg from Crossroads Band Here’s what I’ve learned from TJ, use what you’ve got! Get a stool up front when you sing lead and get a rocking chair back for when the other singer is up front. Put a mic in front of both and switch every three songs. Sit on the edge of the stage. Get a wireless and go sit at a table with a pretty girl.
Tom Jackson best money I ever spent except my strat;-)

Amy,
How are you ? You know that I understand the importance of having a live producer but I had someone ask me “So how will that help me get bookings ?” the person went on to say “if I can’t get the bookings then how can I show them the great show I have ?” What support does On stage success provide for securing bookings ?

We have a 4 piece band, and myself and the lead guitar player are the singers (and front men so to speak). We are trying to put more stage presence in our shows (we are a country band BTW), but we are limited in that I was injured in a bad auto accident and can not move easily on the stage, so I have to sit most of the time (if not all). Is there anything you can suggest on how to “jazz” up our show? I can stand for short periods of time, and both he and I play guitar.
I know this is out of left field, but I thought I would ask!
Thank you for you time.
Greg
