In this week’s Gig Gab episode, guest co-host Mike Schulte teams up with Dave Hamilton to tackle the world of music with humor and insight, and maybe a little controversy. They dive into why musicians often shun karaoke, dubbing it “beer league singing”—but that’s not a bad thing! Mike shares his whirlwind experience of playing 11 shows in 22 days, emphasizing the golden rule: “Don’t cancel shows!” Even when Murphy’s Law is in full swing, the show must go on. From discussing the joy of downloading full charts to perfect your performance to debating the merits of tribute bands, the episode is a goldmine for musicians. They even brainstorm hilarious tribute band names like “We’re Halfway There” for a Bon Jovi band and “Jonas Swift” for a Taylor Swift/Jonas Brothers mashup.
The conversation shifts to the longevity of Taylor Swift’s music and whether it will stand the test of time. The hosts humorously explore the idea of playing for “pink slips,” and compare the dynamics of sports teams to bands. They reminisce about epic Battle of the Bands war stories, noting how these intense moments can leave valuable “chips on our shoulders.” As always, the show encourages musicians to “Always Be Performing,” even when the going gets tough. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a newcomer, this episode offers a perfect blend of practical advice and laugh-out-loud moments.
