Traveling for a living is a great job, you meet new people, new cities, listen to new music and you get to learn from so many others that been touring for so long.
Music has created so many jobs for so many people, from the suits to the janitors at the labels, guys on the road, venues people, music stores, making instruments, tour supplies, trucking, lighting and merchandise companies. All these jobs might rest on the shoulders of bands that right now might be practicing at their parents garage or traveling in a van maybe even 10 guys/girls sleeping in one cheap motel room somewhere in middle America trying to get their name out there. It’s pretty impressive if you think how many jobs depend on these bands, bands that are great, some that are just terrible. Yet many depend on them.
So maybe next time if you arrive early to a show you may want to pay a little attention to that opening band instead of standing at the bar texting your booty call or trying to impress that hot blonde at the corner of the bar saying “I’m so and so from the record label”
Thank you,
