Picking the Right Band Members
 
Most indie artists have expereinced the challenge of finding and keeping the right band members. Hopefully these interview questions will help you find exactly who you ae looking for:  
  • How serious are you? Be sure that their level matches that of your own.
  • What experience do you have? What bands have you been in, if any? Have you been a band leader? Be sure that you are getting someone who will fit right in.
  • Are you looking to join a band as a sideman, or do you want to join a band in which you are part owner? Be sure their expectations are the same as yours.
  • Have you ever been on the road? For how long? Some musicians think being on the road will be a blast until they see how much hard work it is. Others miss their families or significant others too much and begin to resent the situation. Be sure hat your band can handle your touring demands.
  • How often are you willing to rehearse? Do you need to get paid to rehearse or do you consider it part of the job? What you want to know is their work ethic, and whether or not it is equal to yours.
  • Do you have references? It is vital that you can talk to former band members to learn about any challenges that you might have to deal with.
