From: The Tour Bus of Larry Stevenson.

Dear World Traveller,

First, let me introduce myself.  My name is Larry Stevenson and I've been in the music industry as an Artist Tour manager  for  over  20  years.   I have worked with numerous musical groups from around the world, encompassing styles from Jazz to Rock. I have given touring advice to many artists over those two decades.  Artists would ask me about stage plots, contracts, country telephone codes, world time zones, money exchange rates, electric currents and plug adapters needed in foreign countries—even about where the nearest vegetarian restaurant was!

I had to learn about those things the hard way—through trial and error. Eventually, I amassed a wealth of knowledge about being an Artist Tour Manager.  Soon,  people were asking me,  “Larry,  why don’t you write a book on your experiences and tell others how they can become as successful as you?”  Finally, it hit me:   I  could  show people how to become an Artist Tour Manager  over the Internet  and give them the information and resources it’s taken me years to acquire!

That’s why I’ve written  TourDoggSecrets, so you too can have the freedom,  security and happiness I discovered as an Artist Tour Manager. It gives you the resources you need, when and where you need them.  One  thing  I’ve  learned  over  the  past  20  years:   When  you’re  on  tour,  having  the  right information is priceless!

In a nutshell,   an Artist Tour Manager organizes the day-to-day operations of an entertainment group on tour, and makes sure the group gets from point A to point B safely and on time. This includes: checking the entourage in at airports, hotels and concert sites; taking care of all travel logistics (like getting from the airport to the hotel; from the hotel to the venue site and back again, and so forth); making sure times for rehearsals and sound checks are scheduled; paying per diems to the artists and crew; locating restaurants that cater to the group’s tastes—in other words:

 

Read What Musical Artists Are Saying About TourDoggSecrets:

	You are a fool if you don't jump on what Larry's putting down. After being out there on the road with him, I can tell you he knows what's happening. Christian McBride,  Bassist/Composer/Bandleader www.christianmcbride.com I've known Larry for over 35 years, and I'm a witness to his Tourdogg style. The man knows what to do on the road. I can truly say that when Larry is around, I feel Safe! Roscoe Mitchell,  Multi Instrumentalist/Composer/Writer/ The Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Note Factory www.artensembleofchicago.com/roscoe

	I knew Larry was a top tour manager, but after reading his tour e-manual, I can now say he's a Great  tour manager! Fontella Bass,  Lady of Soul/Singer/Bandleader www.fontellabass.com Listen, If you want to know how to tour manage, then why would you go any place else? Here is a man that has spent most of his Life touring all around the world. This type of experience to me is worth its weight in Gold! Vincent Chancey, French horn /Composer/Bandleader www.vincentchancey.com

	Shortly after moving to New York in 1991, I met and began working with Larry Stevenson. Lester Bowie’s Brass Fantasy was preparing for a six week tour to Europe including performances in nine different countries. This was also my first time "on the road" with a band. Naturally, I had no idea of what to expect or how a group traveled. As a rookie, I did all the "no-no’s". I crowded the desk at the airport, at the hotel, at the festival check-inn's, etc. All this ever did was confuse the situation and delay a swift process for the entire group. I quickly learned to stay out of the way and let the road manager (Mr. Stevenson) do his job. Larry, knowing that someday I would be taking an ensemble of my own out on the road, encouraged me to observe and take note of the road managers’ role. Of the many obvious tasks required to manage a group efficiently on the road, the ones which stuck most clearly and seem to make the biggest difference between a fun, successful tour and a plain ‘ol nightmare are the subtle, unobvious ones. For example: communicating with desk agents, hotel clerks and organizers even though you may not speak a similar language. How to work and interact with stagehands and sound engineers to get the best results regardless the situation. How to always be in charge without "stepping on toes". Larry’s Tourdogg Secrets come from years of experience, adjustment, fine tuning and ability to improvise when necessary. Whether I’m leading my group or a hired sideman, I continue adhering to the principals I learned while working with Larry. His methods in Tourdogg Secrets are clear, organized and most importantly, proven. I’ve lived through the process and to date still consider my tenure with Larry the most productive and effective. I not only highly recommend Tourdogg Secrets, I feel it should be required reading for all upcoming musicians, artists, as well as a valuable handbook for frequent travelers or anyone intending on having a career involving "road time". It not only details the nuts and bolts of tour managing, it also sheds light on road etiquette and the smoothest way to travel whether alone or with a group. Luis Bonilla,    Trombonist/Bandleader/Producer www.trombonilla.com  www.myspace.com/trombonilla

I have my copy of TourDoggSecrets  on my laptop now and I'm happy with it. Deitra Farr,  Soultress Blues Singer/Writer/Bandleader www.deitrafarr.com

	The Brazz Brothers thank Larry and TourDoggSecrets for organizing tours and concerts in Germany, together with Lester Bowie and Brass Fantasy. That made us feel good and fit for playing good concerts! Thanks!! Stein Erik,  Tubist with Brazz Brothers (Norway) www.brazzbrothers.com

	In the 1980s and 1990s I worked regularly with Larry Stevenson when he was road/stage manager with various Lester Bowie groups and the Art Ensemble of Chicago for tours throughout Europe. I found him to be a thoroughly dependable, enterprising, knowledgeable and highly experienced manager who was able to deal calmly, efficiently and effectively with all the vicissitudes of life "on the road." He has a most amiable personality, and a keen awareness of the needs of musicians, promoters and agents. With Larry as road and stage manager, you can be sure that there will be very few telephone calls for assistance. He knows how to take care of business - and of all those unexpected developments which tend to arise on even the most carefully planned tours. Gabe Kleinschmidt, GKP Productions  Durchhausen, Germany. www.gkp-promotions.de While I was working with Lester Bowie's New York Organ Ensemble, Larry served as tour manager and stage manager from the late eighties until the early nineties. He fulfilled his duties professionally and with true concern for the members of the band. wake-up calls, schedule sound checks, handling of our luggage, making sure that your instruments were placed properly on stage, anything you needed in a emergency, Larry took care of it all! Larry was also very warm and personable in working with us, with a true love of his responsibilities as tour and stage manager. A beautiful person indeed. You knew you were in good hands with Larry on board. Amina Myers, Singer/Organist/Composer/Writer

	One of the most memorable rhythm and blues music tours I’ve enjoyed was with Larry as our international and national tour manager. This tour expanded for more than three months of nightly performances. From the USA Tour through-out our European dates, Larry kept the entire company together with humor, laughter, organization and specialized professionalism with each perforating staff member. His dedication to the art of music appreciation from stage setup to load out was highly appreciated. Anybody that follows after Larry’s contribution in management facilitation will have a tough job filling his expertise as a leading tour manager. Sincerely, David Peaston. Singer/Writer/Composer Webpage For the most part, Larry Stevenson taught me all the ins and outs of working on the road. He basically showed me the ropes and when I evolved to a management position on the road, I was more than prepared. Take it from someone who came up under Larry firsthand, he knows all the tricks to making the road run as smoothly as possible; from Cargo to airport and hotel check ins, to everything that has to do with preparing the stage for the performance, Larry knows his stuff. And I think that his willingness to pass his knowledge on will only benefit potential tour managers and the bands that they manage. Many times, a tour manager is just thrown on someone and they have no idea what to actually do. Consider this the survival guide and maybe you will make it through. Kevin Beauchamp, Tour manager with The Art Ensemble of Chicago Art Ensemble Of Chicago Website

	Larry Stevenson is one of the premier tour managers in the music business.  We have worked together in several varied musical situations, with Defunkt Big Band, Brass Fantasy, Baneblieue and others.  These unique touring situations were not of your normal “band on tour” variety.  He was required to use his skills  in coordinating events with cultural agencies, arts organizations and social departments of whom some had no real idea of the requirements for artists traveling on the road as well as club dates, festivals, radio & television programs. Larry possesses great organization and focus. He is determined to do a great job, but not at the expense of the artists or the promoters. He brings a wonderful balance of dignity, precision and humor to balance every potentially disturbing situation.  He is loved by promoters and artists alike who respect his patience and honesty and down-to-earth manner.  He has the greatest gift of all for the road:  "when the shit hits the fan, keep laughing and get the job done." Joseph Bowie,  Trombonist/Singer//Composer/Producer www.defunktmusic.com www.myspace.com/kosenrufu Thank you, Larry. You know I'm always traveling around the world and it's such a pleasure to have TourDoggSecrets with us on the road. My tour manager is obsessed with it. You have just made his life easer. He thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread. We all thank you. Barbara Carr, Blues Singer/Songwriter Ecko Records Larry is a topflight pro on the road. He knows how to handle every aspect of road managing and or how to get the right person to solve the problem. Tour managing is about the most challenging job when you are out on tour and there is no way to know what to do with currencies, backline arrangements, travel direction, airport diplomacy as well as local customs unless, you have been there. Larry has been there and back. Jean-Paul Bourelly, Guitarist/Writer/singer/Composer www.bourelly.de www.myspace.com/jeanpaulbourelly
