This is an opportunity for someone who is serious about touring, hungry to grow, and wants to gain real experience on the road.

- No driving required
- Play in front of crowds every night

Important Compensation Information
There is no guaranteed compensation for this tour.
This position is ideal for someone who values the experience, exposure, networking opportunities, and personal growth that come with touring and performing regularly in front of live audiences.
If your primary concern is earning a paycheck, this likely is not the right opportunity.
If you’ve always dreamed of touring, living on a bus, playing shows every night, and proving yourself in a professional environment, we’d love to hear from you.
