Podcasts about tour life

Captivating audiences since his teenage years, Eric Travers has solidified his status as a seasoned musician in the vibrant Asheville music scene. Hailing from the mountains of Black Mountain, NC, Travers first made his mark as the heartbeat behind an acclaimed Rock n Roll, Jam Band, Travers Brothership, which he co-founded with his brother Kyle at just 13 years old. Over the past 15+ years, the group has amassed an impressive catalog of 35+ published tracks and extensive touring experience. Now 31, Travers has reached new heights in 2024 with the release of his latest single, "Dead End Street," and his new role as Owner and CEO of the All Aboard Records label. Drawing from his diverse musical background in rock, Americana, and blues, Travers' emotive performances and melodic sensibilities have earned him a dedicated following across Western North Carolina and beyond, cementing his role in the local music scene. With the launch of his latest project, the Eric Travers Band, this versatile multi-instrumentalist is primed to take his artistry to thrilling new levels.1. Background and Music CareerHow did you get started in music? What inspired you to pursue it as a career?My father was a career musician who always had instruments and fellow musicians around. My first "real" drumset was gifted to me when I was 8-9 years old. It became a dream of mine when I received praise and applause from my cousins playing air guitar at the age of 3 and 4. I was inspired to start a career in music because I made enough money to barely get by as a musician and this was my end goal. All or none. I sought out a living and a labor of love.When did you first start performing and touring?My first performance was for my school, performing an Elvis Christmas song with my twin brother and father. Performing regularly started when I was 15, with my brother, playing shows from Brevard, NC all the way to Marion, NC as "Travers Brothers Band / Caution Tape", a four piece Rock n' Roll outfit with a 2010, 10 track LP. Our bandmate's father helped us with transportation for 3 years. Touring started after my time freed up, at the age of 17. (When we could drive). I made the choice to leave college for the career in music. Now the band was performing for only $200 every Thursday in Greensboro, NC. A 2 1/2 hour drive from our hometown, Black Mountain, NC.How would you describe your musical style, and how has it evolved over time?My music style is American roots music. When I was 11-13 my band "The Predatorz" played strictly Rock n' Roll like Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top. I started playing piano and acoustic guitar at this time which was strictly music by The Beatles. "Caution Tape--> Travers Brothers Band" then came along at 14-17. And the Rock n Roll became more jam band oriented with extended guitar solos influenced by The Allman Brothers Band. Then, groove oriented funk music became a thing.My brother and I founded a very successful touring band at the age of 18 called Travers Brothership. In 2012 our debut release was very progressive, soulful, funk and rock group. For the next 4 years we toured with 7 members performing what we called "funkadelic" music. Our 3 piece horn (brass) section helped color this genre.In 2016 the lineup changed back to the original 4 members of the band including my twin brother. We had no choice but to return to a jammy, Rock n' Roll vibe to keep audiences on their toes. We had to stick to our guns and give the audience a powerful sound to make up for 3 lost players in the band.2. The Traveling ExperienceWhat is the most exciting part about traveling for your music?The most exciting part is seeing landmarks, going to new places, seeing national parks and observing the different arts and cultures.How do you typically prepare for a tour? Does your preparation change depending on where you're performing?When preparing for tour I have to make sure my drumset is ready for performance. All items must be accounted for in our vehicle and/or trailer. In the beginning I required everyone to have foodstamps. We got by with very little. When we were traveling for longer lengths of time we brought more clothes and made sure our vehicle was in proper condition. Eating nutriously required extra packing which was always tough because everyone's priorities are different. Our preparation will change if we are traveling further, flying or if we need our clothes to be nicer. Dressing accordingly is just one step "above" the audience - say, if the audience has T-shirts, we wear button downs.How do you stay grounded and connected to home while you're on the road?Staying connected to home always came with forfeiting home for the road. My dog traveled with me everywhere. The road and music were my home and a way of life.Have you ever had a surprising or unexpected cultural experience while performing in a different country or city?New Orleans, LA was a culture shock. The large but small music community was humbling. The experience of spending time in Hamburg, Germany was unexpected because some tour dates were canceled. I spent 1 week here. This atmosphere was very interesting and intimidating. 3. Life on the RoadCan you walk us through a typical day on the road for you? What's the routine like?Our road life followed a minimalist lifestyle. The band had to be weekend warriors. Days on the road started by waking up in someone else's house either on the floor or a random bed. We would normally sleep in as late as possible. We would take turns showering and get on the road asap. Play time was hard because a 4 person vote to do something is really annoying. In the van we mainly slept. There are a lot of road rules. We'd show up at a show, perform and hopefully rely on night life to prepare us for a place to crash. Hotels were hardly an option until we became established enough for a living wage. The routine followed Day of Show instructions but life on the road followed lifestyle. We all had our own lifestyle. I am epileptic so staying healthy was my main goal.What are some of the most challenging aspects of life as a touring musician?Musicians don't get paid much. This is a challenge and hard to keep a band together because of this. When keeping track of your tour dates you can see that you've played 300 shows but only once in a certain market, so they're not paying you. The hardest part is the time spent between the stage and the bus. The culture, nightlife and fun is the biggest challenge. You would believe that not getting paid is worth it, for site seeing and a good time; however, all time must be spent with comradery and focus.How do you manage the physical and mental toll of constant travel, late nights, and performing?Our band couldn't manage the physical and mental toll. We broke up after 10 years due to a mental health crisis. Alcohol was introduced to us whenever we were 14 and 15. Everyone wants to party with the artist. If you don't become part of the culture you're not doing your job. Or are you? My job was to network and find our next opportunity until and we were more established. I wrecked two vans on tour having a seizure, due to poor health. Our backs started to hurt. We didn't take care of ourselves or know how to. It can be a really hard life and managing everything is very challenging.4. Performing to Different AudiencesWhat's it like performing in new cities or countries where the audience may not know your music?The band and I stick to our guns. When you're playing original music confidently with passion and love, everyone reacts the same way. We would change our set for different audiences, though. Europe liked blues and rock. Frat parties liked dance music. Local bars liked cover songs.How do you adapt your performance for different audiences and cultures?I personally liked changing outfits and/or suggesting different songs. Say, in the south we would cover an Allman Brothers Song or play my country influenced original. Or, in a Latin culture like Spain we would cover Santana.Do you notice any commonalities in the energy or reaction of audiences around the world, or does it vary a lot?There are a few different types of shows and audiences: one is the crowd that is there for the culture, and not the music, while another is strictly listening, and then a fully supported original crowd that is mainly family/friends. A festival and jam band community always followed us. Our crowds can always mingle. Our "family". Music is a universal language. All in all our band found it's way in to a "jam band" grateful dead scene.5. Connection with FansHow do you build a connection with your fans when you're on the road?Building connection comes with personal experience or online presence. Do you have any memorable stories about a fan encounter or a meaningful moment with someone in the crowd?I remember performing on stage in front of the biggest crowd I have ever played in front of and locking eyes with my dad, who was in "awe". Also, moments in which I've inspired other musicians to pursue a career. I remember a time setting up a fans drumset for his son.What role do social media and online engagement play in connecting with your audience while traveling?These play the largest roles. Keeping fans interested can be challenging. There's only so much you can do. If you're not a strong personality then you will struggle in this business.6. Challenges of TouringWhat has been one of your biggest challenges while touring, and how did you overcome it?Getting along and my seizures. Mental health is the biggest challenge for every musician. Saying no to drugs and alcohol.Have you ever had a tour or performance go completely wrong? How did you handle it?Things have gone completely wrong before. Sometimes, admitting defeat is the best option if things are failing. But at the end of the day, if the show must go on, then it must go on. You can follow Eric on instagram @allaboardrecords and Facebook, and find his music on Apple Music, Spotify, or anywhere you like to stream!!

In this episode of The Tour Life, we sit down with Rene Villanueva, musician, writer, and member of the band Hacienda, to explore the crossroads of personal loss and professional success. Rene opens up about the sudden loss of his mother right before a major tour with Hacienda and the emotional toll it took on him and his brothers. Despite their growing success, including collaborations with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Rene describes how suppressing their grief led to burnout, mental health struggles, and the eventual need to take a step back from their career. We discuss the importance of prioritizing mental health, especially in high-pressure industries like music, where pushing through grief can cause long-term harm. Rene reflects on how he and his brothers learned to process their emotions, embrace self-reflection, and re-evaluate their purpose before returning to the music scene. Key Takeaways: Pause to Heal: Even when you're on a trajectory of success, it's okay to take a step back to process grief and trauma. Ignoring emotional health can lead to burnout and long-term negative effects. Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Instead of bottling up emotions, finding outlets like meditation, self-reflection, or even taking time off can make a significant difference in your well-being. Compartmentalizing Grief Isn't Sustainable: Trying to “push through” personal tragedy while performing or working can lead to breakdowns in other areas, including relationships and mental health. Redefining Success: Success doesn't always mean continuing on a predetermined path. Sometimes, true success is recognizing when you need to hit pause and take care of yourself. Support Systems Matter: Keeping close relationships with loved ones can provide grounding and perspective, especially when the demands of the road feel overwhelming.

In this episode of The Tour Life, we sit down with Rich Jones, a Chicago-based MC known for his collaborations with Taylor Bennett, the Allies, and more. Rich shares stories from his music career, including how he was voted the second-best rapper in Chicago by the Chicago Reader in 2016, right behind Chance the Rapper. We dive into his creative process, life on the road, and the organic way he's built strong relationships within the music industry. We talk about the ups and downs of touring, including solo touring for the first time, navigating unexpected challenges, and the emotional rollercoaster of live performances. Rich opens up about learning to cultivate friendships and networks, and how they've helped him both personally and professionally, from saving on lodging to filling venues. He also reflects on the growth he's experienced as both an artist and individual, emphasizing the importance of self-encouragement alongside constructive self-criticism. Whether you're in the music business or simply a fan, Rich's optimistic yet grounded outlook will inspire you to embrace the unexpected twists of the creative journey. Key Takeaways: Relationships Matter: Cultivating friendships in the music industry happens naturally when you're present and active. The connections you make can offer both emotional and professional benefits, such as networking opportunities and support while on tour. Promotion is Key: Once you have a body of work, focus on promoting it creatively. Engaging your audience through various platforms, not just through music releases, can build anticipation and excitement. Stay Grounded: When you're frustrated, check in with yourself. If you're still passionate about what you're doing, the struggles are worth it. Don't lose sight of the positive aspects of your career. Stepping Stones: Smaller shows or seemingly unsuccessful moments can lead to greater opportunities down the road. Every step is part of the journey. Celebrate Yourself: Personal and artistic growth takes time. Remember to appreciate who you are and what you've accomplished. Self-love and self-encouragement are just as important as constructive criticism.

In this episode of The Tour Life, we chat with Chicago-based emcee, ShowYouSuck, an artist known for his unique approach to hip-hop and his collaborations with Air Credits, The Hood Internet, and more. ShowYouSuck shares his journey from growing up as a solo creative, discovering rap as his outlet, and ultimately finding success on his own terms. Along the way, he learned to navigate the challenges of building a music career in Chicago's diverse and often fragmented scene. We dive deep into the concept of creating with intent and discuss ShowYouSuck's unique outlook on life, which balances the highs and lows without letting them define his self-worth. He also talks about his post-apocalyptic rap project, Air Credits, his experiences with DJing, and the importance of fostering community in an industry where support can often feel elusive. Throughout the conversation, ShowYouSuck emphasizes the importance of loving the process over focusing on the outcome. Key Takeaways: Community and Support: Being part of different friend groups with varied interests helps expand your network, which can open unexpected doors in your career. Intentional Living: Moving with intention in your art, relationships, and life can bring a greater sense of fulfillment and control. The Importance of Self-Talk: How you talk to yourself impacts your outlook on your career. Speaking positively, even when things aren't perfect, is essential to keeping your momentum. Process Over Results: Letting go of attachment to outcomes, like crowd sizes or song plays, is key. Falling in love with the creative process itself brings more satisfaction than focusing on metrics. Staying Grounded: Life and art are a series of events—neither good nor bad. The only thing you can control is how you react to them.
