Every musician has that one gig story they’ll never forget… mainly because their therapist has traced it back to the root of their trust issues. 😂 My book “And the Crowd Goes Mild” has a whole chapter of musician friends recounting them. Here,@JeirisCook shares his with me.

People think every gig is glamour, applause, and adoring crowds. In my book And the Crowd Goes Mild, I relive some truly disastrous nights—@Lelicamusic joined me to reminisce about one of our worst gigs ever.
