Chris joins host Adam Grimm for a long-form conversation on what it actually takes to keep a tour moving: load-ins, front-of-house, tour management, the difference between a domestic run and an overseas one.

Bands and rooms mentioned: The Dandy Warhols, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Tracy Lawrence, the Oregon Symphony.

Honest on the harder parts too — touring's old stereotype, what's actually changed, and the part nobody warns you about: acclimating back to normal life after the bus stops.

A never-ending live album. Every Wednesday subscribers get a new live song from a past performance in a different city — a living archive that keeps growing week after week.

Off the band's 2019 album Why You So Crazy. Their current LP ROCKMAKER is out on Sunset Blvd Records.

Nearly two decades of mixing live sound — The Dandy Warhols, the Oregon Symphony — and a working setup built around Campfire Audio in-ear monitors for consistent monitoring across very different rooms.

The piece runs through virtual playback during soundchecks, the Solstice and Equinox IEMs for different scenarios, and the shift from speakers to in-ears for studio work during quarantine.

Mixing techniques from years of live and studio work — the importance of accurate monitoring, the collaborative process between engineer and artist, and the skills that translate from the road into the studio.
