The Rise of the Broken – PRESHOW RITUALS

In this Preshow Rituals segment, Kevin Rodriguez of the alternative rock band, The Rise of the Broken, shares what he does before every show. You can check out his rituals, after the break.

When it comes down to getting ready for the show, there are a couple of things I like to do beforehand. Since I’m a very hyper person when it comes down to talk to fans, or on stage, I try to drink some hot tea with honey that will just warm up my voice and also just get me in the zone. I’ve never liked coffee, so I grew fond of tea a lot so it came in handy that it helps my throat to warm up as well. After I’ve drank my tea and finished my vocal warm ups, I like to take a cough drop to just freshen my throat up and just lets me feel like I can hit any note when singing. I pop one of them in right before going on stage and I’m back to just getting fired up to sing my heart out and give the best performance I can on stage. I also try to stretch a little bit since most of the time we are stuck in a van all day, it’s nice to get to stretch right before going on stage so that I don’t pull a muscle or are too stiff while playing and singing.
