With a little encouragement from friends and perhaps a touch of liquid courage, Eric found his footing in our musical ensemble back in 1987. Together, we revisit those electrifying early gigs, sharing tales of our debut at Duke's Wild Goose Bar and the unforgettable camaraderie of playing for an under-21 audience, all while balancing atop a precarious stage setup. Managing the dynamics of a band can be as intricate as navigating a marriage, and that’s no exaggeration. We unpack the complexities of maintaining harmony within the group, drawing on personal stories from our time with Threshold.

Please text us and please supply us with your email so we can keep you updated with additional information Ever felt like managing a band is like juggling flaming guitar picks? Welcome to Franklin's Garage to Stage podcast, where we bust the myth that band life is all rock 'n roll glam. This week, we tackle the nitty-gritty of practice schedules, the art of set list organization, and the marriage-like dynamics that can make or break a group. Rob shares his own adjustment story of swapping Arizona's sun for North Carolina's chill, highlighting how the band's evolution requires constant communication and compromise. Listen as we share strategies that not only refine our sound but also keep the band harmony alive. The creative spark of a spontaneous jam can be magical, and we've got the tales to prove it. From blues-rock jams that unexpectedly became local hits to capturing those elusive moments of brilliance with a simple recording, creativity thrives in the most unplanned moments. We open up about the struggles and triumphs of maintaining punctuality and honesty within the band, treating it as a family where open communication reigns. Our stories of mishaps and laughter, like Dana's Reno escapade or the infamous lyric scattering incident, paint a vivid picture of the band's journey. Relationships outside the band? Yeah, they're a whole other concert. Young musicians often find the balancing act between band commitments and personal life a challenging riff to play. We've learned the hard way about the impact it can have and the importance of keeping communication lines open with loved ones. Before we wrap up, we hint at a future episode with Eric Bogomil from Reno and share some vital tips on practice space security. Gratitude pours out to our listeners, with a nod to their role in our ongoing journey, and a small call-to-action for those who wish to support us further.
