We have partnered with Music Industry Therapist Collective on the release of the new audiobook version of Touring & Mental Health: the Music Industry Manual
The audiobook has been designed for life on the road, accompanying you while you’re in your bunk, waiting to soundcheck, or boarding your next flight. It’s crammed full of extra features like Nick Cave reading his epigraph, interviews with members of Radiohead, Chic, Pixies, The Darkness, Big Joanie and touring veterans,
and meditations led by Rob da Bank.
The first one of its kind, this comprehensive manual helps musicians, touring artists and those working in live music to identify and cope with the various physical and psychological difficulties that can occur during, or as a result of, touring. Written by health and performance professionals, this timely and essential book provides robust clinical advice, cutting edge research, practical strategies, resources and detailed illustrations. The audiobook features original interview recordings, including powerful insights from artists and veteran crew.
Covering a variety of topics including mental health, peak performance and performance anxiety, addiction, group dynamics, relationship problems, dealing with the media, physical health, diversity and inclusion, crisis management and post-tour recovery, the manual is the go-to guide for dealing with the stress and pressure of being on the road.
