* Kid Kentucky and the American Badass Band perform a full show (up to 2hrs), from start to finish. Our show is designed for music and media programming from beginning to end, and we do not offer cover-band, multiple set-break scheduling, nor showtime intermission(s).
* Can we make sure to have a quick-change location at the stage, so Don can make some wardrobe changes throughout the show?
* We sometimes have a guest set-in for the song, “Picture,” midway through the set, she will use the bass position mic. We call her up from the crowd; should any passes, credentials or escorts be needed for stage access, please advise. If a couple bar stools are handy would be appreciated at side-stage.
* We ask that opening bands set up in front of us, and not strike our stage - not because we refuse to share the stage, but completely because we have quite a bit set up around our stage including operations elements as well. When someone else screws it up, it's not their show that suffers- it's ours. Unfortunately, it's been proven too many times as such.
* We ask that opening bands avoid Kid Rock songs in their set, as well as other covers that are included in the Kid K show. Openers and House Music, please avoid the following songs:
Freebird / Can't You See / Back In Black / Gimme Some Lovin / Summer of 69 / Tom Sawyer / Folsom Prison Blues / LaGrange
* For Local Audio Mixer/Lighting Director/Video Proj. Familiarity with Set List:
Full set = "Greatest Show on Earth" thru "Bawitdaba" at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Lwyl3bqfbwBvDdTetBYLU?si=9KtU4JTlR02CMhO8nwiFIg
* For Local Audio Tech / mixer/monitor set up:
We carry our own in-ear monitor and mixer rack and all band are on IEM. It includes XLR cable splitter box which all stage mics and direct signals are fed to. There is a 30' trunk on the back of the mic splitter that can be sent to the stage snakes or house mixing board for FOH mixing. The mic splitter does not have any preamps so input gain will need to be set at the FOH mixer. Wedges are still requested per the plot, and/or a couple side fills on the deck for the guest singer, or as backup if needed. If the floor monitors are powered, we can run the mix from our rack. If it is a passive speaker the monitor levels will need to be set by the house monitor system.
We carry our own stage package including, mics, stands, cables and stage boxes, all running into our IEM rack noted above. the rack is a Thru/Split and we simply send you the tails.
