    EPISODE 23: searching for the perfect setlist

    EPSIODE #23 : searching for the perfect setlist. You got the gig, you´ve found some cool cats to play with and you´re happy, all right. Why wouldn´t you? Now you just have to send the musicians the setlist. Easy, since it´s just a detail and any song will do, because the performance will is the trick, right? No, no and no! The setlist is the very core of your performance, the best way to wrap up your message and get it delivered, so don´t waste this tremendous opportunity to tell your story and engage with your (new) fans. Repeat after me: thou shall never forget how powerful your story is! Is your current setlist reflecting that? Ok, you´re done, move on. Will your setlist ever be finished for good? No. Get over it. Now follow me this way... For the final treat, let´s get scary-jazzy: Nevermore (Extracts fro the poem The Raven, by Edgar A. Poe. Music: Geisa Fernandes). Guitar: Guzmán Calzada.
