Don't be shy, get in there and do your magic. I found it intimidating to get up and close, but you need to do that.

I have photographed a band on quite a number of occasions - all outdoor events starting with daylight and ending with, well, no light other than the stage lights. It's certainly different than wildlife photography! Try lots of different angles - verticals and horizontals. Get up close like Elizabeth said (talk to the musician beforehand and let them know what you'll be doing - if you're using a wide angle lens you are going to get WAY closer to their face than they are expecting you need to) and get lots of bursts (you'll get lots of shots with eyes closed!). Best of luck
