Ever said yes to a gig with only one day’s notice? In this vlog, I share how I prepared for a last-minute bass gig with no rehearsal — plus, take you on the road with Sam Burchfield and the Scoundrels to Savannah, Georgia. If you love live music or want tips for surviving last-minute shows, this one’s for you.
