Did you know actor Harrison Ford worked for The Doors for 1,5 week as a roadie in 1968? I just found this out.... 🤯

So You Want to Be a Roadie? (Or touring concert Technician.)

Okay, awesome! We need more! (Remember folks, concerts don't happen without the crews). It's a pretty great job honestly. We get paid to travel, we get to meet new people, our hotels and food are paid for hile we're on the road. But there are some realities to consider before you say yes to your first touring gig.

Are you prepared to spend almost 24/7 living with the people you work with?

Tour busses are not always luxurious, and it can be hard to find time to oneself. Figuring out other peoples nuances,attitudes, and general expectations isn't always easy. And if you don't like how someone acts, lashing out and them isn't an option, because you still have to spend the rest of tour with them. On the flip side, you can form life long bonds with people too! I'm still friends with folks I've previously toured with, and having matching tattoos with a couple too!)

Are you prepared to lead crews of people that you've never met before?

some of whom it may be their first day ever seeing any of this equipment, some of whom may be on drugs, some may not have any common sense, and some may not respect you? Every day, in every city, we get a new batch of stagehands. Some have been doing it longer than you've been alive, some it may be their first day. Either way, treat them with respect, they're people too. And no matter what there's always something to learn from the (whether that something is where to get your weed in that city, or a cool new trick about how a piece of gear functions, there's always something)

While our meals may be catered, that doesn't mean it's always great.

If you have strict dietary needs, most tours will try to accommodate, but they are at the mercy of the catering company (whether it's local or touring with the production). Days Off are better, because you can find your own food, but takeout and ubereats can get expensive. While some catering is definitely subpar, some venues go above and beyond. Lobster in Maine and New Hampshire? Yes please!

We don't have normal sleep patterns.

Most days I'll sleep for 6 hours at night, and maybe get a 2 hour afternoon nap (depending on the day). If you're someone that needs 8 hours of sleep every night to function, this may not be a great option for you. If you don't mind weird hours of operation, or are generally a night owl, you should adapt pretty easily.

Days off aren't always in exciting places.

Sometimes you're in the middle of nowhere, sometimes you're in NYC. And even if you're in a cool place, your body may just be too exhausted to do anything, and you might end up sleeping all day. The flip side though, is that sometimes you end up in some REALLY cool places on ays off. For example, I got to spend today at NASA in Houston, viewing the solar eclipse and attending their open house.

Are you willing to live out of a suitcase, and how forgetful are you?

I tour with 1 large soft sided suitcase, a pelican 1510, and my backpack, and that's it. That's all my clothes, toiletries, and personals for an entire tour leg (which can sometimes be upwards of 2 months at a time). Along with this, I take all of my belongings with me from city to city, hotel to hotel. I have definitely accidentally left behind belongings before, and it can get expensive to replace some things. (In no order, things I've left behind at hotels/venues: my favorite sweater, my earbuds, all of my shower stuff, my shoes, my wrench...). Although it definitely puts in to perspective how much stuff you actually don't need to get by.

Are you prepared to be on your feet for a good chunk of the day?

On an arena tour, I do upwards of 20,000 steps in a day. Amphitheatre tours about 13k on average daily. Invest in a good pair of running shoes, or steel toed boots my friend.

If all this sounds manageable, then awesome! You should definitely take that road gig you've been offered! Be a sponge, learn all you can, and enjoy the ride!

If you have some hesitations, that's okay too! Road life isn't for everyone, but if you think maybe you could try it, and manage the things that sound difficult, then great! Remember, you can always ask people for help, advice, and general guidance along the way. Most of us are willing to help!

Decided that you don't think you could manage all of this? No worries! There are SO many facets of the concert industry that don't involve working on the road, that there are definitely other options! Being a local stage hand, working at a gear rental company, working for a promoter, are all very valid and fulfilling ways to be involved in this industry!

If you've made it this far in this post, and have questions about working on the road in the concert industry, feel free to shoot me a dm! While i certainly dont know everthything, and can only speak from my own experiences, I'm willing to answer what I can (within reason), and if I don't have an answer, I'll try and get you a resource that can help!

Happy gigging yall!

Since summer is finally here I went to find me a road bike, of course the one I want is 11k. It was also emotional because my late father love bikes and this would have been the perfect bonding moment for us. Safe to say I gotta get a song on the charts cus I need this bike 😭

This was a cool gig! One of the rare times I photograph celebrities I'm working with. Sir Paul insisted. What a humble kind down to earth guy!

Lowkey want to be on the crew for Volbeat. Being able to tour with them must be awesome! I wonder how someone gets into that line of work?

That would be cool. I always thought that Britt has my dream job. She's been their tour photographer since 2016.

I found this roadie on Instagram that did funny skits a while ago and he actually talked about how he ended up there. I don't really remember but it was something like working for a venue and talking to bands' roadies. If I ever find him again, I'll do a post on it.
