[Commlist] New Book: Performing Popular Music: The Art of Creating Memorable and Successful Performances

Dr Waldo Garrido and David Cashman have recently published a book:

New Book: Performing Popular Music: The Art of Creating Memorable and 
Successful Performances

This book explores the fundamentals of popular music performance for 
students in contemporary music institutions. Drawing on the insights of 
performance practice research, it discusses the unwritten rules of 
performances in popular music, what it takes to create a memorable 
performance, and live popular music as a creative industry. The authors 
offer a practical overview of topics ranging from rehearsals to 
stagecraft, and what to do when things go wrong. Chapters on promotion, 
recordings, and the music industry place performance in the context of 
building a career. /Performing Popular Music/ introduces aspiring 
musicians to the elements of crafting compelling performances and 
succeeding in the world of today’s popular music.

Review:

Cashman and Garrido’s accessible book provides an absolutely first rate 
overview of all things related to the global live music industry. 
Written in jargon free language and crammed full of useful advice, the 
book is an ideal starting point for both the undergraduate student or 
any practitioner interested in musical performance. It would be a useful 
course text for all institutions teaching popular music performance. I 
certainly recommend it.
