Rockit said she wrote the book for a variety of musicians and music lovers.<\/p>\n
“It’s for emerging musicians who dream of touring but don’t know where to start, and for more established artists looking for fresh tips and perspective,” she said.<\/p>\n
“It’s also for any musician who loves a good tour story, the kind that inspires, entertains, and reminds you of why you fell in love with music in the first place.”<\/p>\n
The book offers practical support and advice, from planning tours to dealing with what can go wrong, but the author’s experiences as a touring artist were life-changing.<\/p>\n
“I’ve spent over 20 years working across almost every corner of the music industry, performing and touring, artist management, marketing, event production, and supporting independent musicians with touring, PR, and career development,” Rockit said.<\/p>\n
“This book is my way of paying homage to those moments and to the amazing musicians who live that life every day.”<\/p>\n
