Last week I managed a venue for the Americana Fest here in Nashville.
Quite a few really talented bands. Tons of great players. Even a few exceptional front men/women.
But managing the venue, here’s what I’d like to pass along.
Be on time.
You know that annoying person in your band trying to get the trailer loaded up, trying to get everyone out the door, suggesting you take dinner to-go instead of sitting down so that you’re on time.
Yeah, he’s right.
His delivery might be annoying and naggy, but he’s right.
You might think he’s against you, or against the fun you’re having dilly dallying around, but he’s actually advocating for you and your career.
You need to be on time.
