When starting out as a FOH or Monitor Engineer, many of the tours you will apply for require you to wear two hats. The Tour Manager and FOH or ME or Production Manager FOH/ME, are the most common dual roles you will find. Being able to handle both roles effectively will make you more valuable, increase your skill set, and allow you to gain the experience you need to tour solely as a Sound Engineer or Tour Manager.

What do you need to know to tour manage, how to juggle soundcheck and getting your artists to soundcheck. Come find out The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of wearing two hats.
