Equipment Needed Before Going on Tour

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Jerimae Yoder on behalf of Expert Village okay so now you have your marketing promotion out of the way, a couple of things you guys have to have when you get on the road. A good cell phone a good cell phone is going to take you guys way far, get a band cell phone not a one of the guys cell phones but get a cell phone that's designated just to call venues. So you know when that phone rings it's a venue calling you and it's not somebody's mom or somebody's girlfriend trying to get a hold of somebody in the band, it's just designated for venues. Maybe a little of a cost but it will go a long way in communicating which just those venues. Get a good laptop keep all your information on a laptop and back it up with a hard drive something like that so you don't loose all your eggs in that basket if you know what I mean. Make sure that you have a lot of information again for all the venues in the database some where so that in one click get where going to be and where you need to be. You may want to get like a Sprint or a Verizon wireless card that goes into your PCI slot of your laptop so that you can connect to anywhere you are in the country, as long as you have cell service, air mattress, and some sleeping bags. You never know where your going to sleep on tour it's always good to have the descent air mattress so that you can just crash out any where.
