PODCAST #111 - Marc McDuff: The Cold Email That Put Him Back on Tour
Om avsnittet
Touring drummer Marc McDuff (The Wizard of Oz, Legally Blonde, The Cher Show national tours) joins Clayton Craddock on Broadway Bound and Beyond, Episode #111.
Marc grew up in a Vermont town of 1,200, studied at the University of Montana, moved to Seattle with no job and no contacts, and got his first national tour through a music director he had worked with in college. He talks about the cold email that landed Legally Blonde, playing 20 minutes in total darkness in Scranton, touring China and Saudi Arabia, avoiding drumming injuries, and why saying yes to every small gig builds the relationships that lead to touring work.
