Q: Touring is a big part of a musician’s job nowadays, any advice for artists getting into their first years of touring?
A: I wish there was some super special secret to share. In actuality it’s all about taking every possible opportunity you can get and parlaying it into something useful. The point of touring is at least as much about getting better at what you do and being convincing as it is about getting some magical opportunity. That way, if you end up in front of...

Q: Touring is a big part of a musician’s job nowadays, any advice for artists getting into their first years of touring?
