The Band Promise

This week I will finally take the stage and perform a show we have worked for over a year to create.

If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, we have added a few more shows to the run and there are some available finally! Get yours HERE.

Excited isn’t a strong enough word for the show we are about to present.

This show has actually been decades in the making, but many of the numbers I have never attempted in any capacity.

To say I have rehearsed, practiced, and strained to get it right would be an understatement.

This is not in my bag of tricks, more than half the show is mostly all new to me, and I am anxiously excited.

As I have played the piano until I am going a bit bonkers, singing my guts out, giving my all in rehearsal alone in my home, I have gone about it as if I will also be alone on stage, as if it all depends on me.

And then, the other day, the band finally got together to play the songs.

Suddenly the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders.

You see, I’ve been a one-man show for most of my career. I sing to tracks from my phone, seldom have a piano to play, and only a few times have been with a band.

I had forgotten the beauty of having a team on stage with me.

As we laid into the first song at the first rehearsal, “Saturday” by Elton John, I was ready to fire things up as if I was a lone wolf.

That’s when I realized the importance of those sharing the stage with me – everyone is ready to play their part, each has their particular voice, all are ready to roll.

Immediately I was able to cool off, slow down, the panic button that had been my albatross weighing me down became a comfort and ease of which I don’t recall feeling on stage in my career.

They allowed me to enjoy performing and relish their talents as they carried their parts and expertise on full display.

It was astounding to feel them carry us, from lone wolf to a synchronized & synergized pack of wolves in perfect alignment, knowing our roles, doing our parts.

I felt fully supported, encouraged, and knew I was in good hands.

The players were ready, rehearsed alone until we could finally match schedules, as they are all performing every night somewhere in the world doing their thing every day.

As am I, just in a different capacity – as a Keynote Speaker – who is now moonlighting as an Entertainer once again for a few weeks.

The Band Promise is the same as any Team in every workplace:

• Show up
• Be Prepared
• Know Your Instrument
• Know Your Riffs
• Keep Time
• Encourage One Another
• Play Along
• Improvise
• Know the Song so well you can move in and out with ease
• Don’t Overplay
• If you mess up, don’t let on, find your place again and keep playing
• Sing along
• Share your Signature Moves
• Smile and have a great time!

I can’t wait for what we’re about to perform for our audience.

Mostly I can’t believe I get to play with such a stellar band of great, talented, skilled humans.

Every one of them Keep The Promise.

Together, we make and keep a new Promise, and that’s The Band Promise.

I hope to see you at these historic shows, beginning Thursday.
