Meet the Authors
Justin Leighton Long filmed and analyzed his band’s performances starting when he was 13 and continuing through national tours of his band No Address, which was signed to Atlantic Records.
As they toured with the likes of 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Theory of a Deadman, and Shinedown, they tweaked their show each night and measured success by merchandise and CD sales.
Once Justin understood the interactions between artists and their audiences, he started coaching, getting many artists and bands signed to various record labels. Justin is now is the artist development coach at Performance High Voice and Music Studio, working with clients across the country to develop and improve their shows.
Adrienne Osborn achieved certification as one of Nashville-based Tom Jackson's Live Music Method coaches in 2012.
Justin and Adrienne have played hundreds of shows together for fifteen years. They still share a passion for constantly analyzing and tweaking shows to get the best result.
