In this episode of Sex, Drugs, and Disappointment, Melody, Dustin, and David of HeyDreamer talk through the very different ways they prepare for life as working musicians—from gigs and rehearsals to session work and everything in between. They get into routines, mental prep, gear checklists, last-minute chaos, and the little rituals that help them walk in ready to play. It’s an honest look at what preparation really looks like behind the scenes and how every kind of musical situation demands something different.
