Have worked for JJ Grey & Mofro for 2 years. I’m the business man you need, so the band can focus on music, and production can focus on production. Have worked alongside 6 different tour managers and picked it up. Have taken our merch numbers to sky high levels. Looking to handle Tour Manager and Merch Manager.
