Interview with a Tour Manager. ( @BuckEatsBurgers )

This is an old interview I did with a friend of mine, Brian Buckley for a music news website called ShakeToShuffle.  I figured I’d post it.  It’s pretty interesting if you’re curious about the life of a tour manager.  I published this about a year ago.  Currently, Brian is TMing for a band called He is We.

“

You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear’s inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong. That ringing covers up something else altogether. If you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past the ringing. What you will hear are voices whispering to each other. They will silence themselves quickly but with practice, you will become more adept at catching and interpreting what they are saying. You will hear things of the past, the present, and the future. However, you must be careful. Because there is no such thing as a voice without a body.

And when you start noticing them, they will start noticing you.

Tours are routed for ALL days of the week.  Accept that promoters/clubs have to book some weekdays, OR drive 100s of miles to another club on Saturday.  Saying something like “ya know you’d have more people at your show if you had it on a weekend” is just ignorant and makes you look like a moron.
