How To Form Las Vegas Cover Bands

By Janine Hughes


A cover band should not be confused with a tribute band since they are different and more often than not one is confused for the other. It refers to a group of musicians that are not well known, that they play music that has been released by other groups. This is very legal and it is a great way for the upcoming musicians to start. They are often hired to play at much smaller venues such as pubs and clubs for a small fee. These las vegas cover bands are very famous for their good music.

These groups are very popular in Las Vegas, NV for their great music. For a person that is throwing a party may it be a birthday party or a wedding hey mostly opt for this option because they are much cheaper and at times some of them are better than the original band. All that one has to do is give them a list of the various songs they would wish to be played at their party.

It a great place to start for most upcoming musicians that are not recognized, most of them started this way and nurtured their talent. This does require a lot of hard work and patience so as to succeed in the industry. One should not give up, some famous bands started this way and they even hard to record three cover albums before they got a chance to record their own music.

To join a band is very easy but the tricky part is being successful at it and making some money out of it. There are no requirements for joining one all you have to do is be in a position to learn songs fast and have a melodious voice. That is it simple. But to be successful at it you have to choose the genre of music you are most comfortable with.

To succeed in anything one must first lay out a plan for how he or she is going to tackle the task ahead. The first step in your plan is writing down on a piece of paper the songs that you are most conversant with. Then look at the list critically and remove from the list the songs that are not popular and are not played often. This helps in eliminating the songs that will be a waste of time.

The first step was deciding on the genre of song that you are most comfortable with, assuming this is done look at the list again and scrape off all the songs that do not fall under this genre. For the songs that are left, ensure you know the structure of the song.

After narrowing down the list, get the real recordings of the various songs just to ensure you get it right. Then listen carefully to the songs and ensure you have locked down every key note there is. If a song seems difficult, move on to the next. Keep doing this and adding more songs to your list till they are close to fifty.

After doing all this you are now ready to join a cover band or form one. The places that you will get advertisements for these include bulletin boards around Las Vegas, NV as well as the classified section.
