Today we hear stories from the road with rock n' roll tour manager Danny Bland. After decades of playing in bands like Cat Butt, Best Kissers in the World, and The Dwarves, Danny used his experience to become a legendary tour manager. From Dave Alvin, Willie Nelson, John Doe to the Blasters and the Supersuckers, Danny operates as a referee, therapist, and coach to many road-weary rockstars. He gathers food, negotiates with club owners, and he can tell you the best book store in every major American city. He hates the sun, he's on the road for 300 days a year, AND he's never heard a Beatles song to completion. He is a rock n' roll road warrior. Danny is the author of "In Case We Die", available at your local bookstore.https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/in-case-we-die?srsltid=AfmBOoruLvyqPVKCSVYIqFHZ0xoDGd2zc8qogT-1bazLnPPLIw_x-jCHlinktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison
