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.


• Practical advice for young musicians, crew
members, anyone who's with the band


• Great for music fans who read Billboard,
Rolling Stone, Blender, Spin, and Harp


• Fun for everyone who loves rock 'n' roll
