Question Posted Thursday May 25 2006, 8:44 pm

THIS IS LONG BUT I NEED SERIOUS ADVICE! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME SO PLEASE HELP!!!!

note: it'd be easier to help me if you're a person who LOVES music or knows a lot about it and bands and touring..

okay so i really LOVE music.. it's my life.. without it i seriously don't know where i'd be right now.. who i'd be friends with.. or anything..

i want to do music in my future.. i recently stumbled across this girls myspace and saw that she works with music and works on the road touring and stuff.. such as being a guitar tech, subsituting for band members if they're sick or cant play, selling merch, etc. for different bands and tours and stuff..

i'm not talking about pop music and all.. i'm talking about from first to last, MCR.. etcetc.

so she does it for those kind of bands.. i'd LOVE to do that but i don't know how to get started.. i play guitar, i can read music, i LOVE music, i've been to TONS of concerts and i know how eveything works.. how do you get these kind of jobs? i'd love to go on tour with bands and sell merch and be a guitar tech and everything like that because music is my life!

can someone give me advice please! this is very important to me! thank you!

> and i don't think that the girl had any connections to get her in with these bands like having a cousin or sibling in with these bands so i dont think just to have those jobs you need to have connections

i'm really not trying to be sarcastic..but have you thought of simply asking the girl about how she got started?

Local bands are a good place to start. Here are some websites with information:

The best advice I can give you is to work tech at local shows. Many roadies merely get noticed from playing/working at the right place at the right time.

I think this is a good place to start. There are other sites out there. Type in Roadies + Music and browse away!

Good luck. :)
