Peter Gabriel

Daryl Hall

Doug Redler is one of the most well respected guitar techs in his field. He has spent countless hours and thousands of miles with the likes of K.D. Lang, Paul Simon, Slash, Peter Gabriel, The Counting Crows, the Dixie Chicks, The Black Crowes, Rich Robinson, and most recently, Daryl Hall. In his book, Guitarist's Guide to Maintenance &amp; Repair, he shares his insight and knowledge from a life on the road caring for the instruments to the stars.

It's no secret that for years the "road" has been a male-dominated workplace. However, that's quickly changing, and women like Rachel Ryan are forging new and indelible paths, demonstrating their might and talent, making way for a new generation of roadies. Mr. Soundlady, as Rachel is otherwise known, is a force to be reckoned with. As I dug around researching women in the audio field, her name kept popping up, and I couldn't help but be struck by her enthusiasm, her passion, and judging by her resume, her talent. An NYU graduate from California, Rachel has already logged an impressive amount of experience. She had the good fortune to have residencies at both the East and West coast Knitting Factories, Brooklyn Bowl, and has been on the road as both FOH engineer and monitor mixer for the likes of The Tallest Man On Earth, The Strokes, PHOX, Silversun Pickups, and is still the first and only woman to intern at Radio City Music Hall. In between the endless hours and concert halls Rachel has decided to go back to Graduate school to study Library Sciences. Badass indeed.

The trust between an artist and his or her crew is something that takes time to build. It’s a sacred thing. Bobby Tis, guitar tech and monitor engineer for the Tedeschi Trucks Band, has fostered that trust for close to 10 years. I spent an evening with Bobby at a recent gig in Simsbury, CT, and the level of camaraderie and closeness amongst the band and crew was certainly palpable. Bobby learned his craft from a long list mentors including his father Bobby Tis, Sr., well respected amongst studio engineers, and Brian Farmer, longtime guitar tech for Warren Haynes. Bobby’s love of what he does day in and day out keeps him going whether he’s on tour or engineering a session at Swamp Raga studios, Derek and Susan’s home studio in Florida, where Tis lives with his family, just down the road.

This week’s guest is artist Mike Dubois, from Woodstock, NY. He has created some of the most iconic rock posters, album covers, tour merchandise and special event products of his generation. Mike’s unique vision has blazed a trail from his years as an art student at SUNY New Paltz, to working for the likes of the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, Levon Helm, Hot Tuna, the Jerry Garcia Band, Michael Hedges, Gov't Mule, The Wailers, Phil Lesh and Friends, Bob Weir and RatDog, Santana and the Rolling Stones. I caught up with Mike at his studio in the lush, Catskill mountains, where we talked about music, life, and the meditative rewards of his craft.

Robert Randolph

One look at Sean Quackenbush’s resume and it’s clear to see that not only has his work ethic paid off, but obviously he’s got the talent, drive, and the ears, to back it up. Sean’s career started at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in upstate New York. One fateful night, while mixing FOH for Robert Randolph &amp; the Family Band his whole life changed, and he’s been on the road with an incredible list of artists ranging from Brandi Carlile and Matisyahu, to KT Tunstall, Ben Harper, O.A.R., the Experience Hendrix Tour, and Daryl Hall &amp; John Oates. Join Sean and I as we talk about fatherhood, the road, and learning on the job from some legendary roadies.

Amy Ray

Brandi Carlile

I've used the word passion many times to describe several of my previous guests. Some are passionate about their careers, others about their instruments, and still others care deeply about doing the best that they can at any given moment to achieve the absolute best outcome. Production Manager &amp; Front of House Engineer Brian Speiser fits most comfortably in this last category. A long-time member of the Tedeschi Trucks Band family, Speiser's passion lies in his quest for every audience member to leave a performance having had the ultimate audio experience night after night, show after show. I caught-up with Brian during some rare downtime at his apartment in Queens, where we discussed his love of all things analog, the balancing act of wearing multiple hats on tour, and how he's maintained such long-running relationships with the many artists on his resume.

It was at a Supertramp concert when he was 13 years old where Robert Scovill got his first glimpse of a FOH soundboard, and since that day, he’s followed his insatiable passion for live music all the way the top of his field. Known and well-respected by many of his peers, Robert has been mixing sound for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for an incredible 23 years. Prior to his post with Petty &amp; Co., Robert was at the helm for many notable rock bands including Rush, Def Leppard, Prince, and Alice Cooper. As the Senior Specialist for live sound products for Avid Technologies, Scovill is at the forefront of the migration into digital live sound reinforcement, and is a two-time recipient of the distinguished Parnelli award for Sound Reinforcement Engineer of the Year. Join us in the lounge of his crew bus where I caught up with Robert at the Xfinity Center in Hartford, CT.

Pharrell Williams

FOH engineer and 2 x Grammy Nominee producer Courtney Taylor is a hard man to track down. Every other week he flies from his home in Southern Florida to work overseas, and in between, he's either working for someone else, DJ'ing, or planning his next move. Through Patience, Focus, and Passion, he's amassed an incredible roster of clients including, Far East Movement, Stephen Marley, Pharrell Williams, Burning Spear, Common, Steel Pulse, and N.E.R.D.

Ken “Pooch” Van Druten has built a name for himself as one of the industry’s top FOH Engineers. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music, Ken headed to Los Angeles to begin what he initially thought would be a long and lucrative career as a recording engineer. However, this all changed after the invitation to mix one of his artists in a live venue. The band was Warrant, and the venue was none other than the Los Angeles Forum. Since then, He has worked with such artists as Jay-Z, Eminem, Rob Zombie, Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber, Linkin Park, and Prophets of Rage. He is also a two-time recipient of the Parnelli award for FOH Engineer of the year, and an eight-time recipient of the Tourlink Top Dog award. Today’s episode is sponsored by gig-gear.com.

With twenty-five years of touring experience under his belt, Production manager/Tour Manager Chris Wrightsman certainly know his way around a venue or two. The Cleveland native is also not afraid to mix FOH, monitors, or even lend his hand as a lighting Designer. At the end of the day, it’s about putting on a great show, keeping a level head, and getting to the next gig. I spoke with Chris backstage before a recent Young The Giant show at New York’s Summer Stage in Central Park. It’s a load-in/load-out not without it’s complications, but we were still able to find time to chat about some of Chris’s touring highlights. Here’s just a short list of some of the bands that Chris has worked with; Young the Giant, Michelle Branch, Richie Sambora, O.A.R., Secret Stash, Yukon Cornelius, Ozomatli, Multiple Warped Tours, and many others.

JIMMY PETTINATO

However, once he discovered he had a knack for lighting design, it was only a matter of time before a life on the road would change his fortunes for good. After several years as both Lighting Designer and Production Manager, Jimmy ultimately made the switch to focus solely on being the best Production Manger he could, and through his career he has worked with the likes of Trans Siberian Orchestra, No Doubt, Spin Doctors, PINK, New Kids On the Block, Backstreet Boys, Goo Goo Dolls, and many, many more.

Barry Manilow

Curtis Mayfield

When I told people Peter Moshay was a guest on the show, the immediate reaction was "wow!" Right away it was evident that Peter has earned the respect of his peers and colleagues in the industry, and that he is held in high esteem by those that have crossed paths with him. Either as a producer, mixer, engineer, tech or consultant, Peter has worked with everyone from Barry Manilow to Journey, Kenny Loggins, Quiet Riot, The Cars, Fishbone, and Curtis Mayfield. But most notably, he has spent the last 25 years as an integral part of the Hall &amp; Oates powerhouse duo. I caught up with Peter at Daryl's House Club in Pawling, NY where we sat at the bar and talked about life, his lessons learned from three years of touring with Barry Manilow, and his longstanding friendship and tenure with Daryl Hall. Oh yeah, and how much he hates when Hollywood glamourizes Roadies!

iTunes Spotify YoutubePatreon Chez Stock is a experienced Tour Manager and Front of House engineer currently on tour with Amanda Palmer. She has toured extensively since 2007, building steadily on her no-nonsense work ethic, and a desire to continuously improve and grow as an engineer. Growing up as a music fan in Alaska, Chez quickly realized that to develop her interest in the music industry she would have to seek that education elsewhere, and she eventually ended up graduating from the Art Institute of Seattle in Audio Production. From there, she went on to spend five years with Carlson Audio Systems, as Production Manager and Sound Tech before eventually outgrowing the region. Chez then moved on to Eighth Day Sound, where she spent four years working with major artists such as The Black keys, Eminem, Tool, and Slayer/Megadeath.

 iTunes Spotify YoutubePatreon Scott Adamson is a touring FOH audio engineer and the founder of The Production Academy, an online school dedicated to helping musicians and sound engineers get the technical knowledge they need to have successful shows. A California native who has been working in the music industry since the late 1990’s, Scott moved to Iowa with his family in his early teens, and it was there that he started playing the drums. His musical ambitions led him to play in several bands and he slowly developed an interest in the live sound aspect of the shows as well. He was part-owner of Semaphore Recording studios in Chicago during the 2000s, but the excitement of travel and working in live music production ultimately drew him to focus on touring as a full-time career. During the past 20 years, he’s toured with artists like Haim, Passion Pit, St. Vincent, Sleater-Kinney, Matt and Kim, Ingrid Michaelson, and The Hold Steady, among many more. Realizing that there was a lack of quality education in the live music industry, and discovering a love for sharing his knowledge with others, Scott gathered his resources and launched www.theproductionacademy.com.

 iTunes Spotify YoutubePatreon  Thank you all so much for joining me on this incredible journey!  TJ’s story originally started in the late 1980’s as a roadie for several New Jersey club bands. After a brief time at New Jersey’s legendary Trax East Recording studio, he spent most of the 1990’s and 2000’s crisscrossing the planet with bands like M.O.D, Agnostic Front, Ignite and many more. Along the way, he formalized his work with the creation Iron Sound Productions; a company providing back line, sound re-enforcement and tour logistics. By 2000, he was pulling triple duty as Tour Manager, Drum Tech and Guitar Tech for Skid Row, who was opening on the legendary KISS Farewell Tour (last tour with the original members of the band), and included a set by Ted Nugent. As the miles and years on the road continued to stack up, he further earned the respect and trust of peers in the industry. Coming off his last tour, after spending over 20 years on the road, was a time of reflection for TJ; the realization that he was just a local kid from Jersey who had the honor to travel and share a stage with some of the biggest bands in the world. There were more than enough All Access stories to fill the pages of a book, but this wasn’t a story to just be seen through the interpreted imagination of a reader. Throughout all his travels, he had been compiling video footage of life on the road. There wasn’t a story to be written. It was a story that had to be seen. First hand.  Using his video archive as a basis, he starting from the ground up recording new footage. Talking directly to Roadies; helping his peers to open up to the camera, so he could capture the film in reality. In the life that it is lived, not just as it could be filmed. He knew the business first hand. He knew the life first hand. He had lived that life. His production would be at a level never infiltrated or presented. Without this bonding of a brotherhood he shared, this film and other related projects could never have happened. But they have. text: ROADIEFILM to 555888 for exclusive content from TJ's upcoming film!

Greg Howard

Greg Howard’s first tour on the road started a little later than most, but it certainly hasn’t stopped him from making up time along the way. A Florida native, Greg has called Raleigh, N.C. his home for most of his adult life, and it’s where he started working in a music store, fresh out of college, never imagining he’d have the career he does now. Along with being one of the most in-demand guitar techs in the business, for artists such as Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, My Morning Jacket, and AC/DC, Greg is one of the founders of 3 Monkeys Amps &amp; Solderless cables. With his partners Brad Whitford and Ossie Ahsen, Greg has created a trustworthy, tone-heavy brand that continues to grow and innovate, keeping fans and customers satisfied from the very first note.

Chris Adamson

John Mayer

For over fifty years Chris Adamson has led the kind of career most people would dream of. As one of the most sought after Production Manager’s in the business, he’s the guy who makes sure every piece of gear and all personnel gets from one part of the world to the other safely, on time, and that the show will certainly go on. Having spent considerable time with Pink Floyd, he has the distinction of being the first voice heard on the album Dark Side of the Moon, and was recently able to relive some of his memories with the band by visiting the current Floyd exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Chris and I caught-up in Forrest Hills, NY just prior to Tom Petty &amp; the Heartbreakers taking the stage on their 40th anniversary tour, and he graciously shared his experiences with Fleetwood Mac, Emerson, Lake, &amp; Palmer, The Byrds, Steely Dan, John Mayer, and Dead &amp; Co.
