This is a REALLY good one, though I don't know how long it will stay up: How to rework your introductions so you draw the audience in before you launch into the song proper:

This link also gives you some idea of how Tom works with people, and the kind of value he adds when you get a chance to workshop a song with him.

Tips from Lang Bliss on structuring your show to meet the needs of festivals. He emphasizes incorporating memorable moments into your set no matter how long it is. Actually, this is a must-read for everyone, as it summarizes the famous Tom Jackson "set list" that other people have so frequently plagiarized.

Lang Bliss explains that audiences don't expect the same thing out of the musicians on stage that you do. And when YOU're the artist on stage, you need to remember that.

Tom Jackson's article "A Whole Palette" compares musicians onstage like artists who have many colors to work with. Keep your audience attentive and entertained by mixing things up with stories, (short) "jams," physical movement around the stage, audience participation, and more - none of which cost you anything but the time it takes to work them out.

Amy Wolter says to "Own It," meaning practice until performing that song or bit is second nature to you. Then when you get onstage, understand that this is your moment, and you can't fail, even if you flub.
