#Dudewhatstourlike: A Survival Guide for the Touring Musician Volume 1

By Brett Wondrak

#DUDEWHATSTOURLIKE: A Survival Guide for the Touring Musician pulls back the curtain on tour life and offers a peek into how crazy (and mundane) the life of a modern touring musician can be. Featuring helpful tips, tricks, illustrations, hilarious anecdotes, and some of the strangest run-ins on the road, #DUDEWHATSTOURLIKE is required reading for any aspiring or beginning touring artist. The advice is universal no matter the genre of music, and the stories will be interesting to anyone who's ever wondered what their favorite musicians do when the lights go down and they step off the stage.The life of a touring artist is much different than most people expect, and the landscape of underground music is increasingly DIY. It's because of this that today's touring musicians need to know how all the gears of touring actually work. Artists must fill the shoes, not only of performer, but as tour manager, merch guy, roadie, and much, much more. Learning how to manage so many different positions doesn't come easy, but with time and experience, one can learn to succeed in these roles. #DUDEWHATSTOURLIKE aims to help artists transition to life on the road, and entertain them while they learn.
