Podcasts about gigs

Are you a creative who's ever squirmed when someone asked, “So, how much does this cost?” You're not alone—and you're definitely in the right place. In this recorded livestream from our Friday Creator Checkups on YouTube, host Allen C. Paul tackles the tough and oh-so-relatable question of why so many faith-focused artists and creators wrestle with pricing their work.Drawing insight from personal experiences and candid listener responses, we'll dig into the core fears that make setting a price feel so complicated—whether it's tying your self-worth to your art, worrying about being seen as “too expensive” (or “not humble enough”), or simply not seeing your creative pursuits as a legitimate business.You'll hear practical advice, Biblical perspective, and real-life examples to help you finally break free from pricing anxiety. Tap to send us a text!

Musician Brad Jefford has been crunching the numbers and starting a conversation about the wages for musicians who play in the bars and pubs around Newfoundland and Labrador

Ghost banned phones for their most recent tour, in this episode I debate whether this is practical or possible for smaller bands or only a 'privilege' for bands right at the top? playing in huge venues who have the facility, is it possible in a smaller venue and do newer smaller bands even want it....as maybe they need the free promo....why do we feel the need to document every moment of our lives without living in the moment?

Frans Zimmer, alias ALLE FARBEN, ist DJ, Produzent und Kreativkopf. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Berlin-Kreuzberg trägt er seinen Sound in die ganze Welt und füllt die größten Festivalbühnen. Als DJ ist er bekannt für seine genreübergreifende Songs und seine spektakulären Live-Sets. Mit über 2,5 Milliarden Streams und Collabs mit Künstler*innen wie James Blunt, Graham Candy oder YouNotUs zählt Frans zu den erfolgreichsten DJ-Acts aus Deutschland – und hat dabei nie seine Berliner Bodenständigkeit verloren. Was sein musikalischer Weg mit den Mix-Tapes seines Bruders, dem Auflegen in Berliner Bars & Plattenläden und den aussortierten Vinyls des Nachbarn im Hausflur zu tun hat, erzählt uns Frans.Wir sprechen außerdem mit ihm darüber, wie er seine Liebe für die EDM-Szene entdeckt hat, was ein gutes Live-Set ausmacht, wie sein Künstlername entstanden ist, mit welchen Gefühlen er an seinen ersten großen Gig zurückdenkt, wie er die Sichtbarkeit von weiblichen DJs wahrnimmt und was ein schwerer Unfall in Thailand dieses Jahr mit ihm gemacht hat.Es geht um Kunst & Kreativität, Farben, Berliner Plattenläden, DIY, Zurückkämpfen, seine Liebe für den Disco-Sound und einen unvergessenen Gig bei Sonnenaufgang.Wenn Frans nicht gerade seiner Leidenschaft fürs Kochen nachgeht, träumt er von einem featuring mit Pharrell Williams oder verbringt seine Zeit gerne in Thailand.Bühne frei für ALLE FARBEN: He´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:Hier findet ihr uns auf YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heretogetheardALLE FARBEN:https://alle-farben.comhttps://www.instagram.com/allefarben_official/https://www.tiktok.com/@allefarbenTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-buehne-frei-fuer-staffel-4-des-musikpodcasts/SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-podcast-creator-gear.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

“The act of you and I exchanging contact information raises the standard that there is going to be a follow up…You want to make that connection and set the expectation right then and there.”Ever left a conference buzzing, only to watch that excitement fizzle when it comes to follow-up? This live coaching session from The Speaker Lab pulls back the curtain on how pros turn event momentum into real speaking business.Facilitator Erick Rheam teams up with speakers Bridget Quigg and Shannon GaNun for a candid conversation about what works and what doesn't in post-event follow-up. Bridget shares her frustration when promising leads go silent, and Erick offers simple, practical advice: always exchange contact info in person, set clear expectations for next steps, and don't rely on LinkedIn or mass attendee lists. Real business starts with real, personal connections.Shannon's question on breaking into corporate gigs leads to another golden nugget: you don't need a hard pitch. Just mention that you're available for future engagements. Those off-the-cuff invitations can turn warm applause into future bookings.Above all, this episode is a reminder that success as a speaker lies in small tweaks, human conversations, and showing up consistently. Don't overcomplicate it, be approachable, follow up promptly, and seize opportunities. Listen in and learn how to make every gig and every follow-up count.You'll learn:Using a consistent methodology various length talksAuthentic, conversational human interactions on stageOvercoming fear of forgetting points during live presentationsLeaning into your professional background and network for focus areasEffective follow-up strategies after eventsTurning custom items into repeatable assetsOn-stage call-to-action practicesThe SPARK framework (Statistic, Picture, Anecdote, Real-life story)The importance of practicingAnd much, much more!"I believe everybody was created for a unique purpose. And until we learn how to communicate clearly, concisely and confidently, we'll never be able to fulfill that purpose.”Episode ResourcesErick's WebsiteBridget's WebsiteShannon's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Few topics spark more passion (and opinion) than the discussion over Gospel versus Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in our churches.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to pick a side, or wrestled with how to faithfully serve God, your congregation, and your artistry in a culture full of musical "either/ors," you're not alone. That's why we're revisiting a powerful and timely conversation with music minister  Levell Hawkins on The God and Gigs Show. This discussion isn't just about genres—it's about embracing a spiritual, creative, and professional mindset that transcends the “worship wars,” helps you build a lasting career, and unites your creative calling with God's greater purpose.Tap to send us a text!

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has been making serious waves over the past few days with a combination of surprise performances, major tour headlines, unique business moves, and prominent social media buzz. Just last Thursday night, he sent Salt Lake City fans into a frenzy when he made an unannounced appearance at Sierra Ferrell's Twilight Concert Series show at Library Square. According to coverage by local outlets and JamBase, Posty joined Ferrell onstage for a duet of their Grammy-nominated track “Never Love You Again,” and then returned later in the evening—drink and cigarette in hand—to play drums during her set, capping the night with a show of real camaraderie and star power that quickly went viral on fan accounts and music blogs.This unexpected cameo follows the successful conclusion of his Big Ass Stadium Tour, which wrapped up its US leg on July 1 in San Francisco after crisscrossing major cities and stadiums with direct support from Jelly Roll and special guest Sierra Ferrell, according to both Holler and IMDB News. The tour drew rave reviews and solidified Post Malone's latest turn toward country music, as showcased by his 2024 album F-1 Trillion, which features collaborations with titans like Tim McGraw, Morgan Wallen, and Dolly Parton. His country crossover continued to build momentum, adding a new dimension to his career and broadening his audience considerably, as reported by SeatGeek.Business-wise, Post remains a fixture in retail collaborations. Pacsun's CEO recently credited him for injecting authenticity and star power into their culture-driven merchandise approach, spotlighting his capsule collections as examples of how music partnerships can shape youth trends and drive substantial sales volumes, according to Mission Matters. Meanwhile, Post's partnership with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers—notably his custom-designed hot pink and tattoo-adorned restaurant in Midvale, Utah—was highlighted by Utah Business as a case study in genuine, mutually beneficial celebrity branding.On social media, his name popped up in adjacent buzz last week when Jelly Roll, in a guest spot on The Pat McAfee Show, listed Post Malone as a favorite before humorously switching gears to call Taylor Swift the GOAT. The exchange sparked a viral Instagram back-and-forth involving Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift's partner, adding a fresh layer to the ongoing pop culture interplay between chart-toppers.Collectively, these last days underscore how Post Malone's blend of musical reinvention, unpredictably charismatic appearances, and sharp business instincts continue to keep him front and center not just in headlines, but in the evolving story of American pop culture. No significant rumors or unconfirmed reports with lasting biographical impact have surfaced—just pure, headline-worthy Posty energy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Does what you wear truly represent WHO you are? Fashion is one of the most personal and revealing ways that we express ourselves every day, but the powerful industry that makes these clothes is largely hidden from the public - especially when it comes to how Christian values are perceived and treated. In this episode,  you'll find out what really happens behind the scenes in the fashion industry when you're a Christian trying to share and protect your values and beliefs from Micah Lee, a Christian fashion designer and entrepreneur who has seen the risks and rewards of sharing your brand in an ultra competitive arena. Micah founded Emperiol Clothing, an urban street wear clothing line designed to express Christian faith in a size inclusive and modern aesthetic. He shares the reality of building a fashion brand while dealing with the pressure of the industry and those who don't appreciate or understand your faith or belief system. Learn More About Micah and his work: emperiol.comTap to send us a text!

John Otway – self-billed as “Rock And Roll's Greatest Failure” - has played 5,260 gigs in 53 years, a record possibly only beaten by BB King. There are more this autumn of course. He simply can't stop. “People buying me drinks and telling me what a good bloke I am? Why would you stop?” We talk to him here about the art of shambling stagecraft and a life lived almost permanently on the road, which involves … ... a burning desire to perform from the age of nine. … “Don't think before opening your mouth!” … the rhythm of life when you play two gigs a week for five decades. And the value of ‘Micro-stardom' - “I'm at the bar when they walk in”. … seeing the Move, Free and Mott the Hoople in Aylesbury. … how people always noticed him – not least because “I was idiot-dancing by the bass speakers”. ... his first performance, a massively overwrought version of Peter Sarstedt's Where Do You Go To My Lovely. … best-selling Otway merch - “I Can't Believe It's Not Better! It's Nearly Rock And Roll But I Like It!” etc. … “You have to capture an audience in the first 20 seconds.” ... why playing the same size venues every night doesn't challenge you. … a recent three-month ‘trial retirement'. … when he estimates he'll play his 6,000th gig. … and his planned and bank-breaking 2026 World Tour.

John Otway – self-billed as “Rock And Roll's Greatest Failure” - has played 5,260 gigs in 53 years, a record possibly only beaten by BB King. There are more this autumn of course. He simply can't stop. “People buying me drinks and telling me what a good bloke I am? Why would you stop?” We talk to him here about the art of shambling stagecraft and a life lived almost permanently on the road, which involves … ... a burning desire to perform from the age of nine. … “Don't think before opening your mouth!” … the rhythm of life when you play two gigs a week for five decades. And the value of ‘Micro-stardom' - “I'm at the bar when they walk in”. … seeing the Move, Free and Mott the Hoople in Aylesbury. … how people always noticed him – not least because “I was idiot-dancing by the bass speakers”. ... his first performance, a massively overwrought version of Peter Sarstedt's Where Do You Go To My Lovely. … best-selling Otway merch - “I Can't Believe It's Not Better! It's Nearly Rock And Roll But I Like It!” etc. … “You have to capture an audience in the first 20 seconds.” ... why playing the same size venues every night doesn't challenge you. … a recent three-month ‘trial retirement'. … when he estimates he'll play his 6,000th gig. … and his planned and bank-breaking 2026 World Tour.

You've heard it over and over - "take the leap of faith"..."pursue your passion"......and all of the voices seem to say that being a creator is all or nothing. If you have a 'backup' or traditional 9-to-5 job, somehow, you're not doing it right. In an age where so many options are available to creators to help them monetize and grow careers, the pressure is on many faith-focused, well-meaning Christian creative people to leave their jobs and try to earn their living strictly from their creative gifts. Is that true? Or is it a flawed perspective that gets people to take steps they don't have to take? We explore why the "full-time creator" might not be for everyone in this episode. Want more help with making the decision? Try our resource - 4 Questions to Ask before Going Full-TimeTap to send us a text!

What happens when raw talent meets unwavering authenticity in a music industry that often values trends over substance? Ben Gallaher's story provides a refreshing answer. From his early days beating on soup cans with pencils in Pennsylvania to becoming a guitar virtuoso whose viral riff captured 35 million views across social media, Ben's journey embodies the true spirit of musical craftsmanship.The conversation takes us through the reality behind the glamour of "getting a record deal" – the regime changes, shelved recordings, and difficult decisions that tested Ben's commitment to his authentic sound. Rather than conform to the pop country trends that didn't fit his rock-infused vocal style, he chose the harder path of staying true to himself. "I'll be damned if I'm gonna go out and play shit that I hate," he candidly shares, revealing the courage required to maintain artistic integrity in an ever-changing industry.Perhaps most moving is Ben's decade-long commitment to performing at state prisons throughout Pennsylvania. These raw, vulnerable performances connected his music with men at their lowest moments, demonstrating music's power to transcend circumstances. When an inmate who'd been incarcerated for 20 years told Ben his songs "changed my whole outlook on life," it crystallized why authenticity in music matters so deeply.Now working with producer and beloved TTIAST co-host Neil Thrasher, Ben continues crafting music that honors his distinctive sound – guitar-driven, melodically rich, and genuinely reflective of who he is as an artist. His new EP featuring the single "Bullet" showcases this commitment, while his partnership with Thrasher promises even more honest, compelling music on the horizon.Ready to experience what happens when authentic country meets rock-infused guitar work? Listen to Ben Gallaher's music, watch his powerful "Bullet" video, and witness an artist who understands that in music, as in life, the journey matters as much as the destination.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Show Notes: The Power of Liking for SpeakersWelcome back! In this solo episode, John dives into one of Robert Cialdini's most underrated principles of influence—liking. If you've ever wondered why some speakers seem to get booked again and again, or how you can turn your audience into true fans without changing a word of your keynote, this episode is for you.Introduction: Why Liking MattersJohn kicks things off by sharing why understanding the principle of liking is a game-changer for anyone who wants to get booked, rebooked, or simply make a bigger impact as a speaker. It's not just about what you say on stage—it's about how you connect with people, both on and off the mic.The Science Behind LikingDrawing on Cialdini's research, John explains that we're all more likely to say “yes” to people we genuinely like. He shares his own journey, from starting out with a small audience to building a platform and podcast, all by focusing on curiosity, generosity, and authentic relationships.Real Connections vs. Transactional InteractionsJohn gets real about the difference between building genuine connections and falling into the trap of being transactional. He shares stories from his own experience—how being easy to work with and showing appreciation opened doors to new opportunities, referrals, and collaborations.How to Be More Likeable (and Why It Matters)This chapter is packed with practical advice. John talks about the importance of using audience-relevant language, sharing stories (especially the ones where things didn't go perfectly), and being open about your own quirks and mistakes. He reminds us that being likeable isn't about flattery or people-pleasing—it's about being real, approachable, and easy to work with.Likability Killers to AvoidNot everything is sunshine and roses—John also covers the behaviours that can quickly destroy likability. From being overly self-focused or inauthentic, to lacking emotional presence or coming across as rigid, he explains why these habits can hold you back as a speaker.Authenticity Over PerfectionOne of the big takeaways from this episode is that you don't need to win everyone over. In fact, trying to please everyone is a losing game. Instead, focus on showing up as someone who's trustworthy, warm, and competent. Likability can't make up for a bad talk, but it can turn a good one into something unforgettable.Wrapping Up & What's NextJohn closes the episode by encouraging you to be the speaker people want to work with and invite back. If you found this valuable, don't forget to like, subscribe, and check out the links in the show notes for free tools to help you build ethical influence. And stay tuned—the next episode will explore another of Cialdini's heavy hitters: reciprocity.Thanks for listening!
