Roadie Tycoon 1

Three people, a borrowed hatchback and a box of shirts.

You start with $1,500, six songs, twenty shirts the drummer's cousin printed and sixty people at home who'd come see you. Book the bars that will have you, drive between ten cities around the Great Lakes, and keep the band together long enough to matter.

What the job actually is

01

Book the rooms that will have you

Every room has a booker and every booker checks your draw. Start in bars that book anyone and work up to clubs that want numbers first.

02

Price the door

Set the ticket, pick the promo spend and see the expected crowd, your cut and the break-even before you commit to the date.

03

Run the load-in yourself

On show day you can carry the gear in from the hatchback, past the regulars and up the stairs. Make soundcheck and the show scores better.

04

Read the settlement

Tickets, house costs, the band's split and the merch count, on paper, every night. Then the review, the weekly report card and the chart.

05

Keep the band together

Each member has a trait, an ego and a limit. Band meetings get loud, managers in nice jackets buy drinks, and morale decides whether there is a next tour.

06

From the garage to the big rooms

Six tiers, six sounds and four home scenes. Write songs, build the set list, buy a van, hire a crew and deal with the border when you play the other side of it.
