Successful Tips for Traveling Musicians
One of the most exciting things about being a band member is the travel. Moving around from one city to another, meeting new people, and seeing new sites is a life that most people view as glamorous. However travel with a band can also be quite difficult. Being away from loved ones for extended periods of time can be treacherous. Eating food on the road can cause you to put on more than just a few pounds if you are not careful. Here are a few tips that can make life on the road a little bit easier.

- Know where you are staying. Depending upon the size of your band, you may have the option of sleeping on your tour bus. However if your bus is overcrowded with people and their belongings, it may not be worth it. You want to make sure you get a good night’s rest so you can perform to the best of your ability the next day. Scope out deals before your arrival so you don’t wind up paying more money for your accommodations than you actually get paid.
- Do your best to eat well. Going on tour often means eating at greasy restaurants and snacking on cheap catered food. As a creative person, you want to make sure that you have access to as much healthy food as possible. Try stopping at local grocery stores that sell fresh fruits and vegetables. Purchase bags of fruit that travel well like apples, pears, and bananas. Many restaurants have a portion of their menu that focuses on healthier food items. This may help you to lower your calorie intake while supplementing with a fresh salad.
- Protect your musical equipment with custom cases. No matter what instrument you play, you want to make sure that the instrument you travel with is well taken care of.
- Store your instruments in custom cases that will protect them from spills, moist air, as well as being thrown around on a moving bus.
- Make sure that the custom cases for your instruments closes well so you don’t take the risk of it falling out by accident.
Travel with your fellow musicians can be a blast if you plan for it. Share these tips with your bandmates to ensure that everyone can have a time they will remember for the rest of their lives.
