    Learn how to be a roadie, working with bands on tour, with this step-by-step guide! 
     '5 Steps to a Roadie Job' details the exact steps you need to take to find work with international touring music artists as a sound engineer, backline tech, concert lighting engineer, tour manager, touring stylist, chef, driver, or any of the numerous other concert touring jobs. The audiobook breaks down some of the myths of working in the live music business with an honest and realistic approach to working with music artists on tour. 
    You will have probably found it difficult to find out how to get work with music artists on tour. Road crew jobs don't seem to be advertised and yet, when you look, there are dozens of bands and music artists playing gigs in every town, on every single night of the week. And most of these bands will employ at least one road crew person at each show they play. But, if roadie jobs are never advertised, how do these bands find the crew to work for them and, more importantly, how can you get one of those road crew jobs? 
    Andy Reynolds, a concert tour manager and live sound engineer, has answered those questions, and others, in '5 Steps to a Roadie Job'. Andy has worked in the live music business for more than 25 years – '5 Steps to a Roadie Job' is the distillation of his experience and knowledge gained in that time. He has written this audiobook to help you - the road crew of tomorrow -start working for music artists on tour.
