Post subject:  Tom Jackson's Performing Tips

Nearly 30 years ago, I met a fellow named Tom Jackson who, after a brief music career (mostly in Jesus music) had begun coaching other artists on how to put together memorable performances. For the next ten years or so, Tom worked mostly with Contemporary Christian groups, but he has expanded into several other genres. He's not allowed to tell you which bands he has coached, because the bands' managers always want to make it seem that the band has achieved all of that momentum, excitement, and emotion by themselves. But once you're familiar with his methods, you can spot his clients in a hurry. They show not only confidence and rapport with the audience, but above all the ability to turn each song in the concert into a memorable "moment."

He and his co-collaborators often post free tips on his web site. Again, though some of the examples may seem skewed toward Christian music, his ideas for putting together memorable shows apply to any kind of music.

Here is an example from this week:

Here's another from Tom: "You can learn charisma"

Okay, The Artist formerly known as PFFTGH! is one of my least favorite people, but Jackson has some notes on how a guy who didn't even seem to belong on the stage was "owning" the stage by the end of his first tour opening for someone else.

Here's another one about planning your set (and your whole "stage show") long before you perform, maybe even before you start rehearsal:
