Episode 304: Why do Bands Play Covers?

Cover Band Confidential's Podcast

This week Adam and Dan respond to an email inquiry from a listener, Brian, curious about why people choose to be in cover bands instead of making original music. We explore the different types of satisfaction derived from being in either a cover or original band, and how the interaction with the crowd, the creative process, and the economic realities form the crux of why most musicians opt for cover bands. They further discuss this phenomenon in light of their own experiences and underscore how even cover bands require significant creativity to adapt songs to a specific band or instrumentation.
