Performance Anxiety Podcast - Behind the Scenes of Touring
"If you listen to this podcast, you're most likely a fan of music. And chances are, you've seen a live concert. Have you ever wondered what goes into getting a band from one show to the next? What kind of preplanning is needed? And how much more goes into an overseas tour?"
"Well my guest and friend Chris Bergstrom joins me to give us all a taste of what it takes to make a tour successful and how it has changed over the years. He's worked with some incredible acts, like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Dandy Warhols. But he's also worked with acts I wasn't expecting, like The Oregon Symphony Orchestra and country music star Tracy Lawrence."
"He's done everything from load-ins & load-outs to Front of house, to tour management. He's got great behind the scenes stories as well as a collection of live recordings that I would kill for! But it's not all sex, drugs, & rock & roll. In fact, that stereotype has changed so much over the years. But for many, the hardest part is still acclimating to post-tour (or normal) life."
"Chris is candid about all of it. So if you want to follow his touring exploits, check him out @blackeyedprod on Instagram."
