Cover Songs: How to Stand Out While Showcasing Your Own Talent with Brian Hollenbeck
Singing popular cover songs can be a lot of fun; it's a fantastic way to get your audience's attention while also allowing you to show off your talent and personalize the song.In today's episode, we are joined by Brian Hollenbeck, also known as Brian HBK. He is a member of Hairball, a band that covers songs on another whole level and his position is bass/vocals. It’s safe to say HBK was bitten by the music bug at a very early age. His home growing up was filled with music. Many hours were spent lying on the living room floor in front of the stereo speakers playing records by people like Three Dog Night, The Beatles, Foreigner, and many others. His uncle played him KISS Alive II, then he heard Led Zeppelin and that was it…there was no turning back. He dreamed of getting to play and sing in front of people. He joined his first bar band at the age of 15 and has had the privilege of playing on different stages across North America ever since. Tune in to this podcast now and learn how to cover songs without losing your own trait as an artist.Highlights:[00:22]A Typical Day for Brian[01:45]What is hairball and how do they work?
