Troy Carter blew Lady GaGa up into the biggest Pop Sensation in recent memory, but people tend to forget that she didn’t start out that way.  Stardom was not automatic.  She had to grind away just like everyone else, and she played more than her fair share of small gigs and as a support slot for bigger acts.  Through developing her career, Troy certainly has picked up pearls of wisdom that can help bridge a Support Slot on a tour into being a Headlinereventually.  Often to do that, the Support Slot needs to connect with the fans of the bands they open for.  A RenmanMB member asked Troy what his thoughts were on how to best establish that connection in order to createnew fans, and Troy obliges with his thoughts here!
