  • Being on a music tour on a tour bus has always been something I've wanted to do since I was I kid. Now I've had the privilege to have been on quite a few tour busses over my career, but today I want to show you the behind the scenes of some of the things that happens on tour busses.
    If you're new here, my behind the grind series is a behind the scenes look at different aspects of the music industry that not many people talk about.
    If you have any experience on tour busses or if you like this behind the grind series that you would like to add let me know in the comments!

    The bus behind the scenes was cool to watch. The hurry up and wait game can be tough but like Julian said "it's easier when are with people who are easy to hangout with". Loved seeing the setups too. 🙏 fun vlog

    Great video as always. Thanks for showing folks that touring on a bus can be grind. I've done it twice but I was a lot younger. I can appreciate everything you go through.

    As a driver myself . Been thru those Gennie issues . Leave the opposite bay door open let the air flow so you won’t have overheating issues. Also there’s a squirrel cage what they call it need to be cleaned so often . Lack of maintaining the gennie ..

    Love these on tour videos. I’ve played music since grade school and my dream has always been to make my living playing music. Unfortunately life, family, and church obligations probably will never let that happen. So I live my dream through videos like this. God Bless you all. 💪 👊 🙏

  • @joelee9752
    @joelee9752 Год назад

    I can sympathize with you. I was stuck on one in the Arizona heat once. It was brutal. The generator is usually on slides and you can slide them out so they run cooler BUT seems yours was just not cooperating. Those busses get HOT FADT when there’s no air. Especially the bunk area. Tight quarters. Fantastic video. I love your bass playing too pal. Very inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work.

    I did southern gospel tours back in the 80s and early 90s. Acquiring a tour bus was always the crowning achievement of a southern gospel group back in those days, it seemed like. Some of those buses were just trash lol. I did a tour across the country with a group back in about 89 or so, in a 1949 Ford bus, that someone had starting converting into a tour bus but ran out of money. I remember it had just a toilet sitting out on the floor and 2x4 framing where the bunks would go.
