<p>   Every musician dreams of having their own team of roadies for their <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live band</a>. I&#8217;m here to tell you that roadies are out there and that you can have your very own roadies hauling and setting up your live band&#8217;s equipment. The best thing is that most of these roadies will work for very little money or even for free dinner and admission to your shows. I&#8217;ve been using roadies for all my summer gigs this year and I&#8217;m telling you it&#8217;s been fantastic having some guys to haul my equipment around and set it up.</p>
<p>   So where can you find your own roadies? Well you need look no farther than family, friends and fans. To those people who are non-musicians, being around musicians playing in a band is to be part of a very fascinating world. There are many people who are interested in learning how a band functions and want to be  involved in the inner workings of the music scene. These are the people that just want to be a part of it all and these are the people you want to approach about being a roady for your band.</p>
<p>   This past summer I started a band named <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bonnenuitband">Bonne Nuit </a>with my three oldest sons. My Son&#8217;s are in their teens and they have a lot of friends who are fascinated with how a live band works. We recruited a couple of their friends to be roadies for us this summer. We started by having them help us haul equipment in and out of our house. We then started getting them into our gigs as part of the band and have used them to haul equipment at our gigs as well. We have since taught them how to tear down and set up the P.A. system. We&#8217;ve also taught them basic mixing and have come to use them quite a bit during our live show for sound work as well. We use them to get us cords, drinks and do whatever errands we need at gigs.</p>
<p>   We&#8217;ve also added our &#8220;number one fan&#8221; to our group of roadies. This is a guy that came to all of our gigs. He would show up an hour early to get a good spot at our shows and we all became pretty good friends with him. Naturally he would ask if there&#8217;s anything he could do to help while we were loading in and out so we started using him to help with various band related activities as well. He not only helps with setup and tear down but he is also learning how to run our lighting system and is the band&#8217;s official photographer.</p>
<p>   These guys are all working for free meals and gig admission. But that&#8217;s not what their true motivation is. They really just want to be a part of the whole thing and learn how a band functions. We recognize them from the stage at gigs, we make sure they know how important they have become to us. The rest of our fans know who they are. It&#8217;s working out well for all of us and hopefully someday we can pay them in more than good times.</p>
<p>   Even if we can never pay them, the memories we&#8217;re making will last a lifetime. I&#8217;m sure all you live musicians out there have had people come up to you at gigs and tell you stories about how they &#8220;use to drive a van for a band in college&#8221; or how they used to &#8220;help my buddies do shows back in the day&#8221;. They always seem to follow up those statements by telling me that it was one of the most fun times of their lives. I believe we as musicians are doing a good thing by letting our friends, family and fans become band roadies. So here&#8217;s another shout out to Brent, Jake and Jake. Thanks you guys for making our lives easier and I hope you&#8217;re all having a blast!<br />

<p>   Rush, one of the greatest <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live bands </a>of all time, is on tour this summer. The tour is called the &#8220;Time Machine&#8221; tour and I got the chance to catch their show at USANA Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City on August 5, 2010. I really hate the traffic and parking situation at USANA Amphitheatre and I avoid going to any concerts there because of that. It takes a special band like Rush to get me to brave the traffic nightmare of USANA Amphitheatre. </p>
<p>   As usual the night began with the aweful traffic jam to USANA. Having a single road servicing all those parking lots is just horrible for traffic flow. We finally got parked in a dirt lot and hiked down to the Amphitheatre. In all fairness, once inside USANA Amphitheatre it&#8217;s not so bad. The grass is in great shape and we found a perfect spot to watch the show. </p>
<p>   The concert began with a hilarious video of Alex, Geddy and Neal dressed up and playing characters in a restaurant. The video featured a band called Rash who had three members playing accordion, tuba and drums. Nobody liked the sound Rash had so Alex, who was dressed in a fat suit, whipped out a machine that warped the bands sound. He kept dialing it in until the band sounded like Rush. He then said &#8220;Never press this button&#8221; which he then pressed and the machine warped the actual band Rush to the stage and the show was on! </p>
<p>   The video segued perfectly into Rush playing Spirit Of Radio for their first song. The stage which was all decked out like a complex time machine was very visually stunning. There were no amplifiers visible as they were integrated into the elaborate time machine stage set. The stage was fascinating to look at while the band rocked on Rush classic after Rush classic. </p>
<p>   The high tech lighting rig was also spectacular and featured high intensity LED arrays. The lights moved every direction giving the audience an excellent visual show as well. The stage show also featured pyrotechnics and fog. At the back of the stage was an absolutely beautiful HD LED screen that broadcast video of the band as well as animated videos that were synchronized to the music. I was very well pleased with how amazing the stage was. </p>
<p>   The band played as good or better than I&#8217;ve ever heard them. They were tight and perfectly in sync with each other. You can tell that they&#8217;ve been playing together for many years. The only signs of aging are some wrinkles and a bit more thickness around the middle for Alex and Neal. Geddy looks trim, fit and very athletic. The only other sign that this wonderful band is getting older is with Geddy&#8217;s vocals. He struggled with some high notes in the course of the night. They were still able to play their classics but it does make me wonder how many more years Geddy will be able to pull of the entire Rush catalog live. At least he hasn&#8217;t slipped like poor Robert Plant. </p>
<p>   Rush played two sets of music rather than having an opening band. That&#8217;s fine with me because the more Rush I can hear at a Rush concert the better. The band took a 25 minute break in the middle of the show and came back onstage to perform the entire Moving Pictures album from start to finish. It was excellent to hear them play the entire album in sequence and for me it was the highlight of the show. I&#8217;ve always loved the Moving Pictures album. </p>
<p>   As for the inevitable drum solo, yes Neal Peart played his drum solo. I have to tell you that I rarely pay attention to drum solo&#8217;s anymore. They bore the life out of me. But Neal Peart isn&#8217;t just any drummer as I&#8217;m sure you all know. He plays his drums much more from a musical standpoint than a standard drummer does. I was honestly riveted to Neal&#8217;s drum solo and enjoyed every second of it. It was long but it was so filled with musicality that it was like listening to a well composed song. Good on ya Neal! </p>
<p>   Rush also played two new, unreleased songs titled &#8220;BU2B (&#8220;Brought Up to Believe&#8221;) and &#8220;Caravan.&#8221; They are hard rocking Rush songs and feature loads of excellent guitar. The songs fit very well with all the classics that Rush were playing on this night. </p>
<p>   It was a great show and I&#8217;m very glad I went to see Rush playing live once again. The show was so good it made the nightmare of getting out of USANA&#8217;s parking madness a little more bearable. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>   Hayseed Dixie is always good for a laugh with their bluegrass renditions of popular rock songs. The reason they&#8217;re making the Live Musician Central Sunday Funnies is because their video for the cover of Queen&#8217;s Bohemian Rhapsody is truly hilarious. If you&#8217;ve ever seen the Queen video for Bohemian Rhapsody then you&#8217;ll get a kick out of all the great imagery in the Hayseed Dixie cover version. I hope you enjoy this week&#8217;s Sunday Funnies!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>   For today&#8217;s Sunday Funnies I&#8217;m posting up a classic Saturday Night Live clip of Steve Martin singing his song King Tut. This is one of the great musical comedy moments on SNL and it&#8217;s still pretty funny even today. I remember back in High School, my live band learned this song and dressed up  in toga&#8217;s to perform this song at an assembly. It got a great reaction and even made it into the yearbook. I hope you enjoy revisiting Steve Martin performing King Tut!</p>

<p>   For as long as I&#8217;ve been playing live guitar I&#8217;ve had people come up to me and ask me who my favorite guitarist is. Ever since I began playing at age 13 my favorite guitarist has been Mr. Jeff Beck. I bring some of Jeff Beck&#8217;s influence with me into every <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live band </a>that I&#8217;ve ever been a part of. I just love his phrasing and the adventurous way he coaxes a myriad of different and astonishing sounds out of his <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com/2008/11/18/the-fender-american-deluxe-stratocaster-my-favorite-guitar/">Fender Stratocaster</a>.</p>
<p>   I buy every Jeff Beck album that the man releases and there have been many that I love and listen to over and over. I particularly like his 8o&#8217;s album Guitar Shop but I&#8217;ve also really enjoyed his late 90&#8217;s and early 2000&#8217;s albums <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012GMZDG?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=livemusicianc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0012GMZDG">Who Else?</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012GMYUU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=livemusicianc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0012GMYUU">You Had It Coming </a>and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012GMUOU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=livemusicianc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0012GMUOU">Jeff</a> as well. It&#8217;s been seven years since his album Jeff was released and Jeff Beck has just released an excellent new album titled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003405MF6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=livemusicianc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B003405MF6">Emotion &amp; Commotion</a>.</p>
<p>   Emotion &amp; Commotion is appropriatly titled as the songs take you everywhere from the soft and melodic to the hard and rocking. Just the contrast between the first two tracks, Corpus Christi Caron and Hammerhead illustrate the contrast between commotion and emotion. The way the album moves between the two moods is again proof of Jeff Beck&#8217;s mastery of the guitar.</p>
<p>   Two of my favorite tracks are Jeff&#8217;s covers of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Nessun Dorma. The melody of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is instantly recognizable by millions of people and Jeff doesn&#8217;t vary much from the original melody. He has the ability to make the guitar sings the notes like a vocalist which he uses to great effect on this track. Nessun Dorma is my favorite track on the album because I love that melody. Again, Jeff is able to make the guitar sing the notes like a classical opera singer. If you listen to the way he handles the sustain on Somewhere Over The Rainbow versus Nessun Dorma you can hear how he varies his touch to suit the song. Rainbow is much more subtle while he attacks Nessun Dorma more aggressively. They&#8217;re both a joy to listen to and are performed with a 64 piece orchestra. </p>
<p>   Jeff also covers two Jeff Buckley tunes on the album, Corpus Christi Carol and Lilac Wine.  On Corpus Christi Carol Jeff gives a fairly straightforward rendition of the tune which is very good. The best of these two is Lilac Wine which features Imelda May on vocals. The arrangement of Lilac Wine is subtle and beautiful with plenty of room for Imelda May&#8217;s gorgeous vocals which Jeff carefully adorns with his guitar playing. It&#8217;s really a perfect track illustrating the interplay between singer and and soloist and is one of my favorites on the album.</p>
<p>   Another fantastic track is the album closer, Elegy For Dunkirk which features opera vocalist Olivia Safe singing with Jeff&#8217;s guitar. The interplay is beautiful and the orchestral production really brings a lot of feeling to this track. It&#8217;s a great way to close the album.</p>
<p>   The rest of the tracks are very good and Joss Stone sings well on I Put A Spell On You and There&#8217;s No Other Me although the arrangements are a bit more standard on these. Another thing that jumps out is how much better Jeff sounds when playing with Tal Wilkenfeld and Vinnie Colaiuta on There&#8217;s No Other Me than with the other bass and drum players on the album. I&#8217;m still not a big fan of Pino Palladino and he doesn&#8217;t impress on I Put A Spell On You.</p>
<p>   I highly recommend this album to any fan of the electric guitar and it&#8217;s must have for any Jeff Beck fan. Emotion &amp; Commotion is the highest charting album Jeff has ever released in the UK and Australia and is second only to Blow by Blow in the U.S. so make sure you get your copy today.<br />

<p>   Every <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live band </a>wants to be the best band that they can be. I&#8217;ve seen so many bands that practice, practice, practice and never really feel ready to get out and play a gig. I&#8217;ve seen bands begin and end in the practice studio without ever getting out and playing a live show. The biggest reason for this is the fact that the band never feels ready to get out and play a gig. So they practice and practice until they&#8217;re bored and then they end up giving up.</p>
<p>   One of the biggest truths I&#8217;ve discovered in my years playing in live bands is that there is nothing like having a gig on the calender to make your band improve. If you&#8217;re practicing and you don&#8217;t have any shows scheduled then you&#8217;re missing some very much needed motivation. A gig deadline will force your band to get down to the essentials needed to perform a live show. You&#8217;ll stop wasting time at practice working on every little detail and focus on what needs to get done to play your upcoming gig. The arguing about what songs to learn will stop as you decide on a final set list for your show. It will be time for every member to commit the time needed for rehearsals and personal practice in order for the gig to happen. Nobody likes to look bad onstage and that will help your band keep it&#8217;s focus as you prepare for your gig.</p>
<p>   After you play a gig you&#8217;ll have a reference point for where the band really needs to improve. You&#8217;ll know which of your songs didn&#8217;t go over well onstage. You&#8217;ll know what kind of stage showmanship the band will need to practice. You&#8217;ll also hear your band improve simply because you successfully played an entire gig from start to finish. The more gigs you play, the better your band will become because it&#8217;s virtually impossible to simulate the gig experience in the practice studio. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m telling you that gigging is the best way to improve your live band.</p>
<p>   So my advice today is to get out and schedule any gig you can get. Even if that means playing for free at your cousin&#8217;s birthday party. Having that deadline will make your band better.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>   I got some great laughs watching the incomperable Betty White on Saturday Night Live recently. Here&#8217;s the hilarious clip of the shows opening sketch. It&#8217;s a spoof of good old Lawrence Welk with Betty&#8217;s four daughters doing a Mother&#8217;s Day tribute. Enjoy! <img src='http://livemusiciancentral.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>   My <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live band </a>Bonne Nuit played the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides 5K walk in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday May 15, 2010. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bonnenuitband">Bonne Nuit </a>is my latest rock band that I&#8217;ve put together with myself, Matt Rushton and my three oldest sons Erik, Austin and Skyler Rushton. We&#8217;ve been landing a lot of gigs lately and I&#8221;m telling you that having a family band is a great marketing ploy. I do have to say that my sons can really play and we&#8217;re getting a lot of compliments on how good we sound.</p>
<p>   It seems like Bonne Nuit just keeps falling into some sweet gigs. We aren&#8217;t getting paid anything except for free food but the band is only about 4 months old. At this early stage in the band&#8217;s career we just want to play for as many people as possible and try to generate some publicity and name recognition. We&#8217;ve been lucky so far in the gigs we&#8217;ve been lining up. We actually found the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides 5K Walk gig by looking on the local Craigslist. The organizers put up an ad that they were looking for a band to play for a couple hours to an expected crowd of 500+ people. We followed up and directed them to the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bonnenuitband">Bonne Nuit Facebook page </a>which has all our promotional material and that landed us the gig.</p>
<p>   The show was outside in a great big park in downtown Salt Lake City. We made sure we had a cover over the band to protect us from the elements which turned out to be sunshine this time. The weather was gorgeous and there was a huge turnout to the event. That was great for us because our goal at this point is getting in front of as many people as possible. The organizers placed us right in the middle of the entire event so we were very lucky with the location.</p>
<p>   We got set up in about an hour and did a good sound check. The organizers of the event told us we could play as much as we wanted before the 5K Walk started and again when the walkers returned. So we played about 5 songs and they started the Walk. About 40 minutes later people started returning to the park and it got very crowded. We launched into our main set and everything was sounding great.</p>
<p>   It turned out to be a flawless gig. We played for almost 2 hours to a park full of people. We played extremely well without any equipment issues or sound problems. The band is really starting to tighten up and sound good because we&#8217;ve got some gigging hours behind us now. We also passed out a lot of band contact cards. Several people asked about hiring the band and a skating team that was there asked about having us play at some of their skating shows.</p>
<p>   All in all it was probably the best gig that Bonne Nuit has played since we started the band. We accomplished all of our goals in that we played extremely well, generated some good publicity and made a lot of contacts. The weather was simply beautiful with a perfect spring day. Hopefully more good gigs like this one will come our way. I did ask the organizers why they chose our band to play and they said it was because of our song list and the fact that we were a family band.<br />

<p>   I play in multiple <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com">live bands </a>as well as record with these bands in the studio. One band I&#8217;m involved with is named Highway 6 and is headed up by my good friends Tom and Heidi Nedreberg. They are a Father-Daughter team who write and perform their own original music. I&#8217;ve been playing with Tom in various bands for the past 20 years or so. This past year they&#8217;ve recorded their debut album, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C9fsRv1yxgg&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Falbum%252Fi-dont-want-to-live-without-you%252Fid370785254%253Fi%253D370785284%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30">Love Songs To The Desert</a>.</p>
<p>   I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute all the lead guitar to the album and it was a real pleasure to be involved in this project with Tom and Heidi. The songs they&#8217;ve written are excellent and I was given a lot of creative license to contribute any guitar that I felt would work with the songs. I had a lot of fun working on Love Songs To The Desert with the Nedrebergs. The resulting album has been extremely well received locally and we&#8217;re starting to play more live shows in support of the album.</p>
<p>   I played my <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com/2008/11/18/the-fender-american-deluxe-stratocaster-my-favorite-guitar/">Fender American Deluxe Ash Stratocaster </a>through my <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com/2008/11/11/my-stage-amp-the-fender-cyber-twin-se/">Fender Cyber-Twin SE amplifier </a>on almost every track of this album. If you like my custom programmed <a href="http://livemusiciancentral.com/fender-cyber-twin-se-amplifier-preset-downloads/">Cyber-Twin SE preset patches</a> then you&#8217;ll enjoy hearing them used all over Love Songs To The Desert. I did play a nylon string spanish guitar on the track <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C9fsRv1yxgg&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Falbum%252Fmy-water%252Fid370785254%253Fi%253D370785271%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30">My Water </a>which fits perfectly with that song. But everything else is my Stratocaster through my Cyber-Twin SE.</p>
<p>   Live Musician Central is proud to announce that <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C9fsRv1yxgg&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Falbum%252Fi-dont-want-to-live-without-you%252Fid370785254%253Fi%253D370785284%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30">Highway 6 - Love Songs To The Desert </a>is now available for direct digital download on iTunes.
