Gigging Solo

di Christine DeMeo
Stagione 1
Interview with Rob Gregerson
In this episode of Gigging Solo first, the streamer and live-looper Rob Gregerson stopped by to have a chat with Christine and Rick! They talk about making music, live-streaming, and the way music brings people together in many different settings. Note: this was recorded right before the unfortunate and sudden death of Glen Hansard R.I.P. to a true talent (1970-2026)
A Gigging Solo Update
Rather than describe this in vague terms in this description, here’s the “this-could-have-been-an-email” version: We’re moving to every-other-week! This will give us the time to better promote the podcast, do higher-quality episodes and (hopefully) more interviews. We talk about the rationale of the choice and what you can expect from us in the future. We appreciate all the support and we’re looking forward to leveling up Gigging Solo, but at a pace that won’t burn us out. See you next week!
The Artificial Intrusion
In this episode, Christine and Rick take a little detour from music-making to talk about the specter of generative AI (or LLMs) in our world. The duo focus on the safest ways to engage with this technology, as musicians, humans, and small business owners. Though notably, this topic is relevant to musicians and non-musicians alike
The Dreaded Off Night
In this episode, Christine and Rick talk about every musician’s nightmare. How do you make it through a gig when you just don’t “have it”? You know that feeling. Maybe it’s your voice, maybe it’s your rhythm, or maybe you’re just not feeling it that night. Here’s how the Gigging Solo crew finds their way through to the other side.
Own your stage
In this episode, Christine and Rick talk about how to make your stage an extension of your professional brand. The duo have learned that a “stage” can take many forms: sometimes it’s a proper stage under bright lights, and sometimes it’s in the corner of your local coffee shop.
