Freedom To Follow (Ingredient #3)
These guidelines, or “ingredients” of putting together a live show, are not to turn us into something we’re not, but rather give us more freedom to flourish in who we are
Fundamentals (Ingredient #2)
I take a lot of artists and church worship teams through the foundation and many stop there…
Foundation (Ingredient #1)
This is it! This right here is the “meat and potatoes” of your live show. I work on developing the foundation of a live show with artists more than anything else.
Good Ingredients
A good meal, in a good setting, with good people having good conversations can make for a great experience together.
Breaking Bad Habits
In church we ask for the Holy Spirit to have his way and move in the service. I think it’ll take the Holy Spirit’s movement to get some of us to move on the platform!

Before building a massive show, you need to work on your personal showmanship.
Own the Gig
The biggest advice I can offer to anyone in music is to be fully present where you are! In my last two blog posts, I talked about the audition process. But what happens after you get the gig?
The Most Awkward I’ve Ever Felt Onstage
In my former band, I once played a show in Arkansas in front of only two people. However, that significantly less than sold-out concert wasn’t the most awkward experience I’ve ever had onstage.
Providing An Experience
Over my years in music, I’ve witnessed something disturbingly profound about music artists. As diverse as we are, many have a common misconception when it comes to live performance, something that has ultimately cost many their music career!
