Thanks for commenting. Yeah, that’s it! If you’re an artist, you’ve gotta be thinking, “What’s the one area that I know I can compete in? Am I the best singer? The best guitar player?” Who knows, but the one thing you can do is to know where the bar is for performances (it’s very low) and always over-deliver. That’ll get people talking. And, if all the other elements are in place–the talent, the songwriting, the musicianship–then you’ve got a good shot at distinguishing yourself.

It’s easier said than done, since only a few artists really know how to bring it. And those are the ones that we’ll keep talking about.
