Justin Locke: Art of the Crazy Gig Story


Justin Locke has gracefully made the move from the hardscrabble world of freelance music into his current occupation as corporate speaker and author, and he’s got enough tales from his time in this often wacky business to keep you entertained for days. We interviewed Justin on the Contrabass Conversations podcast, which was extremely fun–check it out if you haven’t before!

Here’s a video of Justin sharing stories from his book Real Men Don’t Rehearse (available through his website):

I’ve got reams of tales of my own (many of which can be found under my Articles page), and I’ve put my more serious thoughts about where this business is headed together in my book Road Warrior Without an Expense Account. I’m currently working on a much more lighthearted book. It’s already at 300 paperback pages (!), so expect a nice chunky read when it arrives.
