Registration Open For Touring Career Workshop

This year’s Touring Career Workshop will take place on Nov. 11 at Soundcheck Nashville at 6 p.m. and registration is open now. The 2015 event will feature panels by touring industry heavyweights Pete Healey (production manager and co-designer for Luke Bryan’s “That’s My Kinda Night” tour), Mark Miles (promoter rep for Miranda Lambert), Carolyn Snell (tour manager for Reba), Sooner Routhier (production designer for Motley Crue, KISS, and Justin Moore) and more. Topics will include setting up a business, touring and health insurance options, social media and touring, and legal protection. To register, visit touringcareerworkshop.com

“Our lineup of sessions and speakers this year is probably the strongest that we have ever had,” says TCW co-founder Chris Lisle. “We are super excited at the content of this year’s program.”

Every year, the Touring Career Workshop benefits a local non-profit and this year TCW is partnering with Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee. TCW will be collecting donations and recruiting wish granters at this year’s event.

“The people that attend our workshop are known for their giving spirit, and we can think of no better non-profit to partner with that Make-A-Wish,” adds Lisle. “We very much look forward to partnering with them this year.”
