In this video, members of the folk-rock band Roanoke discuss DIY touring and live performances. Members Taylor Dupuis, Zach Nowak, Joey Beesley, and Kyle Breese share stories from their years gigging in venues, festivals, and even house shows. They speak of the importance of live shows vs. recorded performances, and how you can create lasting and personal connections with fans during and after these gigs. Every gig you play is important—even shows where there are less people in the audience than there are onstage. As Joey Beesley mentions, these are the shows where you have a chance to try new things. This video is part of Berklee Online’s Touring 101 course, written and taught by Bruce Houghton, founder and president of Skyline Artists Agency and Hypebot.com.

About Roanoke:
After five years spent rising through the ranks of Nashville’s thriving Americana scene, Roanoke has grown from their folksy roots into a seasoned, road-tested rock outfit, retaining an affinity for storytelling and rich vocal harmony. No Depression describes Roanoke’s music as, “… ageless and expressive… so strikingly effusive it practically demands attention,” and Paste magazine ranked their EP “Where I Roam” as one of the Top 10 EPs of 2018.
