Re: [Harp-L] First Time Performing Amplified

[Steve Webb <swebb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Where in Minn are you, JR? I live near Rochester and have done plenty of open-mic/jam session things.
Sometimes they work, sometimes not so well. If you plan to play blues, I would bring a small amp. Otherwise, if they have a sound system, you should be ok.
Steve in Minn.

My biggest concern is that the audience can hear me play.  I assume when I get there the sound guy will know what's what, but what do I need to bring with me to make sure it runs smoothly?   Should I get my own harmonica mic?  Anything else?  This is our first performance and I don't want it to fall apart before it starts.  Thanks for any advice.
