Why You Need a Live Music Producer (And Dont Even Know It) By Wade Sutton, Rocket to the Stars The vast majority of income for most bands is brought in by their live shows, yet most of them spend little or no time trying to make those live shows more entertaining for their audiences. That is a quote I scribbled in my notebook nearly five months prior to me writing this article. I was in Nashville for the annual Tom Jackson Boot Camp, a two-day crash course in live performance instruction, music promotion, and networking. Tom, considered by many to be the best live music producer in the world (and a very good friend to Rocket to the Stars), was talking about the manner in which many bands and performers prioritize their time and energy when it comes to rehearsing for their shows. Here is the thing: Many people SERIOUSLY pursuing music as a career, mostly those in cities like Nashville and Los Angeles, understand what a live music producer brings to the table. Im talking about performers actively pursuing development and doing everything they can to improve at their craft. But a lot of artists outside that specific group dont even know what a live music producer does, let alone works with one. And that is a big part of the reason why so many artists are having such a difficult time standing out from the crowd...
