Track List:

Track 1:
Gigs for Cover Bands, Where's The Money?

On this track, Dave not only tells you where to find work, but how to land the gig. If you want the gig, you better know what they want to hear before you even set foot in the door. Oh and don't forget...once you land the gig, you better be able to live up to your promises! In this section (and throughout the CD) Dave discusses how to get people to your event. When the crowds are big everyone wins! You make money, the promoter is happy, and they invite you to play again another day!

Track 2:
Business and Band Management

In this section, Dave goes into detail about getting all band members on the same page from the get-go. Running the band like a business means you have to make decisions early on about how to run the band, establishing who the right musicians are, band meetings, rehearsal and so on. Making decisions and managing your band whether by democracy or tiered management is a giant step in the right direction. Learn how to manage your band well and you're on your way to success.

Track 3:
Live Performances

This track is worth 50 times what you'll pay for this CD. In it, Dave discusses pay scale, taking the door vs. a guarantee, contracts & agreements, and how to make all of them work to your advantage. There's only one way to get the best of every deal, and that's knowing what you're worth and how to negotiate the deal in your favor. You'll walk away from this track with the knowledge to make your gigs much more profitable.

Track 5:
Building Your Fan Base

Hands down, the fans are what make or break a band. The more you communicate and connect with your audience, the larger your fan base will grow. This track covers some of the most effective methods of keeping your audience engaged and thinking about you even when they're not at the show.

Track 6:
Building a Website & Other Promotional Ideas

One of the most important ways ANY band communicates with their audience these days is through a website. If you're not online, or not drawing traffic to your existing website, you're missing a TON of opportunity. Most of us sit in front of a computer at least once a day, if not all day long. This section is meant to get you online and generating traffic to your website. In addition, Dave covers a few other methods of building your fan base and getting people to the show. After all, that's what it's all about!

So how do we know what it takes
to be successful? Well...
