Synopsis

"The Musician's Guide to the Road" covers touring from the perspective of a music business insider. Author Susan Volez is a professional musician who spends half her time travelling from city-to-city and show-to-show. With considerable humour, the author combines a commonsense approach to life on the road with a musician's memories of the experience, culled from journals she's kept over many years. This is a book every young musician will want to read from cover to cover.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An all-access pass to what goes on backstage, onstage, and on the way to the stage. What's a tour bus like? What are the band members saying to each other on stage? Exactly how much sex, how many drugs, how much rock 'n' roll are we talking here? The Musician's Guide to the Road answers all these questions and many, many, many more. Both a valuable primer designed to prepare young musicians for life on the road and an entertaining memoir of the touring life written by a seasoned musician, this is the book that reveals the scene behind the scenes. Chapters focus on preparing to tour, touring by van and bus, the day of the show, the afternoon before the show, the night of the show, and the morning after, life on the road, and the end of the road.
