If you work in the live music business, there’s a decent chance you know of Josh Weidling, even though you probably wouldn’t recognize his face. That’s because he’s almost always been behind the camera as he interviewed literally thousands of musicians touring through the midwest. Josh launched his YouTube channel Digital Tour Bus in 2009, and over the next 15 years he dutifully uploaded upwards of five fresh interviews a week with musicians who walked the viewer through their tour bus and explained how they chose their musical instruments and gear.
In a recent interview, Josh dove into the origin story of the YouTube channel and explained how he turned it into a business. He also discussed why he decided to keep his day job rather than go all in on the franchise.
