    This past weekend, Steve went to see Geoff Tate (lead singer of Queensryche), and noticed that there were no amps on stage. The topic of IEMs and backing tracks comes up often in the Cover Band Central Group, so Steve and Tony weigh in on this growing trend. Also, the conversation starts with the wide use of A.I. and how it's affecting the art industry.

    The Cover Band Central Podcast #209 - TV Shows

    Since American Idol debuted in 2002, music contest shows have become ubiquitous. In most cases, singers (and sometimes bands) vie in a competition to achieve stardom. Most don't see anything beyond a few minutes of screen time (if they even get that), but a select few have gone on to major success...all while performing covers to get there.
    Steve and Tony discuss this 21st century phenomenon and how it has affected the community at large.
