MEET THE CREW BEHIND THE 2016 GRAMMYS

MEET THE CREW BEHIND THE 2016 GRAMMYS

The Grammys celebrate the year’s best in music and the industry’s brightest stars. However, the 2016 Grammy Awards hit the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday evening and now the only thing people are talking about are the subtle audio glitches and no-shows. Though the majority of performances throughout the evening weren’t terribly exciting, a few performers actually had defining moments - Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga.

But with the technical problems overshadowing all else on social media, we wanted to highlight all of the hard work that goes into making The Grammys happen. It’s unfortunate that in this industry more congratulations aren’t communicated when everything goes perfectly, but you are called out when shit hits the fan.

FIND WORK YOUR WAY

FIND WORK YOUR WAY

30 days ago TourReady ended its beta and officially launched their online database that simplifies the way employers find and hire crew in the concert, event, and touring industry. With our official launch, we wanted Crew to be able to have more choices when it came to how they find work. So we’ve been working hard on creating different account options to give crew more control over how much access to TourReady they want, and ultimately how much work they’re looking to find.

THE GIG ECONOMY MOVEMENT

THE GIG ECONOMY MOVEMENT

Not too long ago, the only people working gigs were in the music industry. Today, more and more people are picking up freelance work and joining the newly phrased “Gig Economy” movement - where people are hired for a particular task or a defined period of time.  Though this has been the norm in the live music industry for years, on-demand employment is shaking up the labor market and changing how freelancers are viewed across different industries.

3 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TOURREADY

After only 10 weeks of being in beta, the concert touring industry has welcomed us with open arms. But as with any new product, there are those who think “oh, it’s just like that other site” or who misunderstand what we do or how we do it. So to set the record straight, below are the three biggest misconceptions about TourReady that need to be put to rest.

A NEW ERA OF ROADIE

A NEW ERA OF ROADIE

Today's concert crew have undoubtably evolved from the days of Spinal Tap and big hair and have emerged into a new era of professionalism. Roadies are no longer affiliated with the stigma of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but are skilled professionals that have innovated live music production into an experience.

Create a Profile. Be Found. Get Hired.

With TourReady being so new, we get a ton of questions on social media asking how TourReady is different than other job sites, industry email chains, social media groups, and other alternatives that are available to concert touring professionals. We're ready to dissect the truth on how you can REALLY find work, by just having a profile on TourReady.

When is TourReady going to end its beta, and what cool new features can we expect? We're ready to round up all of the TourReady release rumors and bring you everything there is to know about TourReady so far. TourReady is adding cool new features during the public beta, such as a better calendar and a faster way to post jobs.

TOURREADY IS LIVE!

TOURREADY IS LIVE!

TourReady is live, and we couldn't be more excited! After a year of extensive industry research and development, you can officially become a part of the Touring Revolution. Until now, concert professionals have been asking themselves the age old question of what's next?  Unless you've been blessed with an ongoing tour for the last decade, the majority of touring professionals jump from one tour to the next, without guarantee of their next gig. And that's where we can help.
