Podcast Overview

What does it actually take to survive in a rock band today? Welcome to Band Practice, the music podcast that takes you behind the scenes and inside the real world of classic rock bands, iconic tribute acts, and the wild reality of being a working musician.

We examine the unforgettable gear, the craziest gig stories, controversial cover songs, and the unique subculture of musicians who put on the wigs and step into the boots of bygone stars to keep the flame of live music alive.
