On the Road

Standing on stage as the performer.
Managing all points of stage as the production & stage manager.
Standing under the drum riser as the drum technician.
Standing stage left in guitar world as the guitar tech.
Standing stage right as a light tech, awaiting lighting cues.
Standing in the quick change as the wardrobe assistant.
Standing at the front of house, executing the show.
Standing in the audience; being the audience.

One show, hundreds of perspectives, yet only one objective: To be apart of a big rock show. Those who work on the tour will only see it from their position. Some get to roam freely & see it every way possible. So many shows in one, it’s rather incredible.

I roam freely and it’s amazing to stand with the crew guys in each department as the show takes place. To witness it thru their eyes, it certainly lends to the bigger picture. Because without each crew member, an aspect of the show might not exist; a show cue may never get executed. No role is insignificant.

Without a band, there is no crew. Without the crew, there is no show. And without either, this web site wouldn’t exist.
