From Rehearsal Spaces to Stage Triumphs

Remember the rush of your first live performance? Join us as we revisit that exhilarating moment with our brother and fellow musician, John Franklin, sharing our early gigs at places like Duke's Wild Goose Bar in Reno. Get ready to uncover the secrets of live music success, from negotiating set times and mastering sound checks to the art of written contracts that keep your band protected. Aspiring musicians won't want to miss our tales of sound engineers as unsung heroes and how cover charges can be a hidden gem for income.
Laugh along with us as we recount our most awkward stage mishaps, like Dana's bluesy blunder at Tumbleweed and Rob's drum kit disaster at Shady Brady's, narrowly averted by a quick-thinking bass player. We ponder the exciting potential of remote musical collaboration and dream of an all-Franklin band, giving a nod to our cousin Bruce Franklin from Trouble, the Godfathers of Doom Metal. Our stories of wild nights in Redding and hilarious close calls with the law underline the importance of professionalism, stage etiquette, and a solid sound check. These anecdotes remind us that preparation and teamwork are the keys to a successful show.
