Why read it?
1 author picked Mel Bay Presents How to Make a Band Work as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Pete Warnick is best known in the bluegrass world as a performer (Country Cooking and Hot Rize) and teacher (the Warnick Method), but his book on the nuts and bolts of being in a band is uniquely helpful in its specific details, particularly for weekend warriors. He addresses getting a sound system, rehearsals, prep immediately before the gig, band dynamics and emotions, performance details, and more. Although some material is now dated, I’ve used much of the book’s details to improve our bookings and performances and found tips available nowhere else.
From Gayla's list on helping you make music.
