#dudewhatstourlike
A Survival Guide for the Touring Musician
by Brett Wondrak

Overview

The life of a touring artist isn't what most people expect, and underground music is increasingly becoming DIY. Because of this, today's touring musicians need to know how touring actually works. Artists must fill the shoes of not only 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.

Brett Wondrak is a songwriter and a self-taught guitarist for internationally-known metal band Affiance. Since 2006 Affiance has sold tens of thousands of albums, charted twice on Billboard's Top 200, and toured the United States, Canada, South Africa, and Europe.
