This week on Cover Band Confidential, we're back with fan favorite and newly minted bandleader Mark Frederickson, who’s learning what it's like to start a cover band for the first time!

After his first appearance struck a chord (pun absolutely intended), we brought him back to spill the tea on their first actual rehearsal, the gear rabbit holes he’s fallen into, and the reality of getting ready for a real-deal gig—Make Music Day no less.

We’re talking song selection struggles, how to keep a new band from imploding over which way to approach a song, and whether it’s too early to start rocking in-ear monitors.

Plus, some honest talk about what it really takes to lead a group of humans with instruments and feelings.

Whether you're starting your own group or just want to hear someone else stumble through it first, this one’s got all the teachable moments and lessons you didn’t know you needed.

🔥 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment about your own first band rehearsal horror story—we know you’ve got one.
