What Does a Road Manager Do?
A road manager makes sure all the details of a musical band’s tour are in order, including the itinerary, equipment, venues and support staff. Whether the band is traveling by air or motor vehicle—the two most common modes of travel for bands on tour—her job is to ensure the experience is organized and on schedule. She may be required to oversee one or two tours a year, or the band may be on a tour that lasts for months at a time.
