Your Music on YouTube

by Backstage: Making it Your Own Greenroom: Leave a Comment
This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series YouTube, Music, and You

By now I’m sure you realize the importance of YouTube in your marketing plan. Your fans want to see and hear you on an ongoing basis… it keeps them excited and in touch with what you’re doing. There are lots of ways to use YouTube to market yourself: showing backstage footage, tour clips, answering questions […]

It’s Not a Stage – It’s a Platform!

by Backstage: Vision & Planning Greenroom: 2 Comments

“We don’t entertain, we worship.” That’s the main resistance we get from worship artists and worship teams about Tom Jackson’s Live Music Method. This is a pretty common concern — and valid. When it comes to worship, we don’t treat that “audience/venue” the same as a band out doing shows and entertaining an audience. But […]

Getting Through

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I want to go to a show and feel something. Be moved. Inspired. Jubilant. Maybe even angered, if I’m already mad and need someone to pour a little fuel on the fire — just to feel some commonality! Having your audience “get” what you are giving them at your […]

Stay Thirsty My Friends

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 4 Comments

Sometimes I’m asked if artists I work with end up not doing what I ask them to do. The answer is yes, unfortunately. Or, the artist might work it in rehearsal, but when I later go see them live, it’s as if we’d never even met! And I walk out dejected and sad, feeling let […]

Watch Webinar Video: It’s Only Me

by Backstage: Workshop & Panel Videos Greenroom: 4 Comments

It worked so well last time, I thought I’d try it again… a Q&A Webinar! About 15 of our Backstage Pass members were able to make the live event, and most of them had submitted their questions in advance. Our topic was “It’s Only Me” and we discussed what many of you go through when […]

Why The Boss is The Boss

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 2 Comments

Sometimes it’s hard to explain to music purists why Tom’s Live Music Method is important to learn and why your live show is so important. That’s why I love reading reviews and hearing people talk about their own experiences watching a great performance. The following review was written by Steve Harrison at reporterconnection.com (the original […]

“But I Can’t Afford the Bells & Whistles!”

by Backstage: Sneak Peek Greenroom: 2 Comments

We like the challenge. We know most artists – at least the ones starting out – won’t have access to lots of lights, staging, props, and the extras established performers have. And to be honest, that stuff can just be a bandage on a sub-par performance. It’s important to understand the logistics and principles for putting […]

Watch Webinar Video: Questions Anyone?

by Backstage: Workshop & Panel Videos Greenroom: 4 Comments

I wish I could have a personal meeting with each one of you, to answer your questions and talk about your show! The next best thing might be a Skype, a phone chat, or even a Live Webinar like I did last week. The background for doing this was simply me wanting to know what […]

Questions Anyone?

by Backstage: News & Shout Outs Greenroom: 2 Comments

I don’t often have the opportunity to sit and visit with a group of artists. Sure, I get that chance with our Bootcamps and Workshops (like the one I just did up in Edmonton). But for the most part, I’m working with bands, soloists, singer/songwriters, young performers, etc. in the rehearsal room 1-on-1. I help […]

When Fear Comes Calling

by Backstage: The Foundation Greenroom: 4 Comments

So many of us experience fear when we step onstage. It comes to each person in varying degrees – from normal run-of-the-mill nerves to all out panic attacks. But where is it really coming from? At the base, we want people to like us of course, and the fear of rejection or not being liked […]
