Shows need more than great players.
ASP can help shape the musical direction, assemble the right people and coordinate the moving parts that turn songs into a live show.
Build the musical plan before everyone walks onstage.
The studio version and the live version do not always need the same things. Arrangement, personnel, transitions, rehearsal and the realities of the room all become part of the musical decision.
ASP can step in for one specific role or help coordinate the larger musical picture.
Build around what the songs need live.
Bring in musicians who fit the artist and the show.
Coordinate the musical pieces before everyone walks onstage.
Every live project is different, so the scope is built around the actual show.
MUSICAL DIRECTION
Help define how the songs translate live and how the set works as a complete performance.
MUSICIAN COORDINATION
ASP can help assemble and coordinate musicians around the needs of the artist and event.
HIRE STEVE
Steve can be hired directly for live performances, one-offs, touring work and projects that need an experienced musical collaborator onstage.
The first step is understanding the music, the room, the date and the people already involved.
TELL ME ABOUT IT
Tell me what the show is, where it is, when it is and what role you need help filling.
DEFINE THE MUSIC
We look at the songs, arrangements, personnel and any rehearsal or preparation involved.
BUILD THE TEAM
If additional musicians are needed, ASP can help coordinate the personnel around the project.
GET TO THE SHOW
Rehearsal, communication and execution all point toward the same goal: make the show work.
Live work depends on more than the time spent onstage. Location, rehearsals, personnel and production requirements all shape the scope of the project.
The role, show length, musical responsibility and number of performances all matter.
Rehearsal time, preparation and musical direction are part of the overall project scope.
Transportation, lodging and travel days are considered when the project happens outside the local area.
Backline, playback, technical requirements and other production needs can affect the scope.
Some shows need one player. Others need a full group assembled around the artist.
When appropriate, ASP can help coordinate musicians, consolidate communication and handle the project through one ASP workflow.
Musical preparation, communication and performance working as one process.

Live projects are quoted individually so the fee reflects the actual performance, rehearsal, travel and coordination involved.
Final scope and logistics are discussed before the project is booked.
Send the date, location, artist and whatever you already know about the musical needs. We can figure out the rest from there.
Reaching out does not book the date or commit you to the project.
