About this episode
Mike came back with receipts!After running his set list through AI last episode, he took the feedback, rewired his show, and played to 2,000 people — crowd went wild. That's the whole argument right there.From there, Adam and Dan dig into the AI conversation every cover band musician is quietly having: is it a tool or a threat? Turns out the answer is pretty much "neither, if you're doing it wrong." They break down how band leaders are already drowning in the operational stuff — booking, socials, follow-up emails — and how AI can quietly handle a chunk of that so you can save your brain for the actual show.Plus: a Facebook comment section implosion, a guy who AI-jihadist'd his way out of an opening slot, and the best @ScottUhlMusic mic drop of all time.Links:-*Dolly Parton's America:* https://www.npr.org/podcasts/765024913/dolly-parton-s-america-*Sweetwater (Supports the show)*: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/3kA26B-*BACTrack Affiliate Link*: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidential *MaestroDMX (10% off discount link)*: https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fmaestrodmx*Blank Contracts & Riders*: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contracts*Backing Track Resources*: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!
