  • From Broadway Swing to Principal: Eight Shows a Week...with Victor Carrillo Tracey

    From Broadway Swing to Principal: Eight Shows a Week...with Victor Carrillo Tracey
    2026/08/24
    Your voice is the most temperamental instrument you’ll ever own, and this week Victor Carrillo Tracey – original company member of Broadway’s The Outsiders – walks you through what it takes to keep one working eight shows a week. Hydration and sleep swap places at number one, alcohol and caffeine cost more than you think, and inspiration doesn’t get a vote when downbeat is 8pm. You’ll hear how a single college voice lesson with a head cold taught Victor to navigate around a compromised instrument years before he needed it on Broadway, and why nerves usually answer to preparation rather than talent. Book the room. Play your opener as the last song of soundcheck. Always Be Performing starts well before anyone’s watching. Then it gets nerdy. Victor breaks down what a swing actually is (think relief pitcher), and how he covered nine tracks at once before working his way up to playing Paul full-time. You’ll pick up forced perspective, the staging trick that tells an audience exactly where to look and translates straight to your own stage. Plus the band sealed in the pit under the apron, monitor wedges in the floor and sidefills in the wings, a rig that tracks each voice around the house, watching a Broadway book get written in real time, and Dave’s case for mixing your in-ears in stereo instead of piling everything up the middle. Victor’s last Outsiders show is October 11th, right around performance number one thousand…and he still tells himself this is the best job ever before every show. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 548 – Monday, August 24th, 2026 August 24th: International Strange Music DayGuest co-host: Victor Carrillo Tracey 00:02:45 The voice is the most temperamental instrument 00:06:04 The benefits of an educationAlways Be Learning – Beginner’s Mind 00:08:54 Learning to navigate around your voice when things are non-optimal00:13:28 Taking care of your voice The most important thing is hydration.Except Sleep is the most important thing.Be aware of alcohol and caffeine 00:17:01 Inspiration won’t always strike00:18:35 And taking care of your body00:20:55 Preparing yourself for success Play your opener as your last soundcheck song before the house opensYou can visualize this, too!Book the room to rehearse in advanceAlways be preparingHaving a preparation mindset 00:28:40 SPONSOR: Hims.

  • Matt Beck on Matchbox Twenty, The Outsiders, Hot Cocoa and a Green Tartan Suit

    Matt Beck on Matchbox Twenty, The Outsiders, Hot Cocoa and a Green Tartan Suit
    2026/08/17
    Matt Beck taught himself guitar strung upside down and backwards and has never once found a reason to stop. He joins you this week from the pit of The Outsiders, where he’s played since opening night three years ago, and from a July that had him running Jon Anderson, the B-52’s, and Matchbox Twenty in the same month: seventies, eighties, and nineties, back to back to back. You’ll hear why a guitar player who can actually read on a staff gets calls other players never see, how orchestrators bury Easter eggs in a score, what it does to a band when the pit is closed and the audience only sees you on camera at the curtain call, and why the plight of the freelancer always comes down to the same thing: your calendar, and what you said yes to eight months ago. Then it’s the road stories. Matt traces twenty-three years with Matchbox Twenty back to a Lisa Loeb tour with Dweezil Zappa standing next to him, and the Zappa family connection that put his name in the right room. He talks about building parts alongside Bono and The Edge for the Spider-Man musical, writing live arrangements for Rod Stewart, and finally getting Sugarjar out the door with Richard Hammond and Sammy Merendino. You’ll also get a Matchbox soundcheck shut down by something nesting in the rafters, three cups of hotel cocoa and a green tartan suit that taught Matt everything he needed to know about a pre-show routine, and the discipline underneath all of it: on Band Geeks off-days, he ran the entire Jon Anderson show every single morning. Always be performing and, as Matt adds on his way out, always be practicing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 547 – Monday, August 17th, 2026 August 17th: Black Cat Appreciation DayGuest co-host: Matt Beck 00:03:48 Musicals trying to make it on to Broadway00:04:50 Theater work in NYC Playing, orchestrating“Play like Steve Gadd”“Play like Steve Vai”“A la Larry Campbell” 00:09:45 Acknowledging the band00:11:56 Reading guitar on staff music00:14:36 Knowing your castmates00:15:59 Managing the schedules of multiple projects Going from Jon Anderson to B-52’s to Matchbox Twenty…in a month! 00:22:07 Logistics of travel on gig day00:24:37 Matchbox Twenty…23 years!

  • Hired From an 11-View Video: Sean Mullaney on Opportunity and Owning the Stage

    Hired From an 11-View Video: Sean Mullaney on Opportunity and Owning the Stage
    2026/08/11
    Guest co-host Sean Mullaney joins Dave Hamilton to prove that the gig you want is usually hiding inside the gig you almost skipped. A video with eleven views got Sean hired, the same way a YouTube clip landed Alexandra Mullaney in The Book of Mormon, so the lesson is simple: put the work out there, then be ready to say yes when someone finds it. You’ll dig into managing your niche without getting trapped by it, and the bigger question every bandleader eventually faces: who do you want to be as a frontman? You can’t make a face unless you’ve seen it, so study the greats, then get authentic to who you actually are. Preaching from the stage is hard. Performing as yourself is harder, and better. Then things get deliciously specific. You’ll hear what it’s like to chase Robert Plant with Mr. Jimmy, where nobody’s speaking English, everybody’s in full costume, and the details are so meticulous that imposter syndrome becomes something you manage rather than something that eats you. Sean said no. Then Sean said yes…and ended up on a sold-out stage at the Whisky a Go Go, a little petrified because the stakes were higher. That’s the point. You’ll get the upcoming Whole Lotta Heart show, why theater runs are a fun grind, what happens when you make that first mistake in front of everyone, how to honor your influences by studying the film instead of copying the notes, and how to manage your voice so you can keep doing this. Always Be Performing! Even when nobody’s watching yet, because view number eleven might be the one. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 546 – Monday, August 10th, 2026 August 10th: Duran Duran Appreciation DayGuest co-host: Sean Mullaney 00:01:00 The Underground Series00:02:33 Hired on the 11th view!
