The entertainment industry is like one big private club for members only. How do you become a card-carrying member of the entertainment elite? By devoting your life to your craft. If you‘re a member it is usually for life and when you meet up with one of your ”brothers/sisters” in the business it becomes a celebration. The conversations that transpire between industry pros are guarded and rarely take place in public. These conversations happen backstage, in a dressing room, green room, hotel lobby or on a tour bus. The shop talk conversation between two musicians is considerably different than the meet & greet chatter musicians have with fans. A chat with family and friends is usually about anything but ”The BIZ”. Rock & Roll Show ‘n‘ Tell makes you a fly on the dressing room wall as longtime professional friends or respected peers reconnect spontaneously. ”It‘s like being backstage at Madison Square Garden.”
