Travel & Logistics

Vehicles

• 1 Tour Bus
• 1 Trailer (gear)

Parking Requirements

• Bus and trailer need to be parked in one location for the entire day — driver's sleep hours cannot be interrupted
• Trailer opening should face the back dock / load-in area when possible
• Need to know in advance if there are parking restrictions, narrow streets, or low clearances

Load-In Considerations

• Most/all gear in heavy wheeled road cases
• If no forklift or box truck — significant crew needed to push cases
• Some cases may need to be stacked/downstacked — have crew or forklift ready
• Double-wide case needs to make its way to FOH — plan route accordingly

• Team flies commercially
• Typically 4-5 people (trio) or 2 people (solo)
• May ship gear ahead (upright bass case, pedal boards, gear bag)
• Ground transportation needed: airport to venue/hotel and return
• Runner with 15-passenger van (or similar) appreciated for show day

Co-Bill Shows

• Full production travels
• Need to coordinate changeover schedules with co-headliner
• Coordinate RF frequencies between acts
• May or may not hang soft goods (gold curtains) depending on show type
• Labor needs: 4-6 hands, staggered with co-headliner's crew call

Festival Dates

• Configuration varies (full band, trio, or solo) — confirm during advance
• May need to ship/receive gear at festival site
• Coordinate with festival production on shared resources

• 1.5-2 hours on deck for spike/line check
• Will pre-stage as much as possible before deck time
• Need to push audio / tune FOH during soundcheck
• After-show food order confirmed by showtime (see Hospitality)
• 3 restaurant menus (open past 11 PM) due by 1:00 PM day of show

Bus Call / Departure

• Bus typically departs after show and load-out
• Driver sleep hours are critical — bus parking location should not need to change

• Runner with vehicle appreciated for show day
• Errands may include: restaurant food pickup, last-minute supplies
• If available, a 15-passenger van is ideal for local movements

• Molly's team travels with their own merchandise
• Need merch table/booth location and setup info during advance
• Merch advance letter and settlement info handled separately — contact TM Philip Haney
