We got the chance to catch up with the NYC\/LA-based artist for one of our newest series, The Pre Show, where we get to hear how these artists all the steps that lead up to stepping into the spotlight for a concert. Here\u2019s what Beane does for the day leading up to a show: <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Remember, the body is a temple.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beane: Day of, there\u2019s definitely a lot more intention behind how I treat my body. If I can fit in a hot yoga class? Ten outta ten, love to do that. Working out, and especially working out in a steamy room is really good for getting your throat and your vocal cords and getting everything warmed up is ten outta ten the way to get yourself ready to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Be intentional with clothing choices.\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I almost call the Beane project a form of drag. It\u2019s not, I\u2019m not taking on makeup, I\u2019m not gender bending my outfits in a way that I think is that crazy, but I definitely am wearing things and presenting myself in a way that I don\u2019t do anywhere else except for when I have shows. So definitely being very intentional about the outfits I pick and the energy that I want to give on and off stage. I want to be approachable, but still elevated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2345-1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type='video\/mp4' src='https:\/\/sofar-blog-images.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beane-Audiogram-1-v1.mp4'\/><a href=\"https:\/\/sofar-blog-images.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beane-Audiogram-1-v1.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pre Show with Beane<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Hydrate, and enjoy a vice or two.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely love to hydrate all day. I almost always tell myself in the beginning of the day right when I wake up, \u201cdon\u2019t smoke and don\u2019t drink\u201d and then normally right before the gig I have a drink and a smoke. So I normally get real close.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Rehearse, but don\u2019t drill.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like to run by songs quite a bit. But what I\u2019ve learned as I\u2019ve gotten older is that a lot of times the day of a show, you\u2019re not going to really get much better, you\u2019re not going to learn much more than what you already have, so rehearsing a song a couple times is great, but drilling it 10, 15 times is probably not that helpful, it\u2019s probably gonna do more harm than good, and you\u2019re gonna get in your head. I\u2019d say, a light rehearsal.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2345-2\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type='video\/mp4' src='https:\/\/sofar-blog-images.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beane-Audiogram-2-v1.mp4'\/><a href=\"https:\/\/sofar-blog-images.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beane-Audiogram-2-v1.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pre Show with Beane<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Never forget the small details that are the most empowering.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do this inner eye highlight that I pretty much only do when I\u2019m on stage. That inner eye moment, I\u2019ve always done that. It\u2019s always been a way for me to feel authentically queer and just a little bit different. I love to do a little bit of shadow too. Just like, dolling up the eyes is my favorite, but in a very subtle way, ya know? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, I love a heel, and I love to put on a heel when I perform. I love the sound that it makes when I walk around, it\u2019s like, you\u2019re drawing attention to yourself but not necessarily in that intentional of a way. So I always kind of enjoy to put those on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beane - We&#039;re Alright | Sofar Boston\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iqG0NTumyaY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You never know when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sofarsounds\/video\/7212645320507854126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you\u2019ll catch Beane at a Sofar show next<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
