EP. 44 - BENN NEWBY (TOUR MANAGER)

On this episode of the LWICFD! Podcast we have Tour Manager to pretty much every band that ever existed, Benn Newby  🥳

For nearly 20 years, Benn has tour managed many amazing Australian & International bands & artists. I won’t name them all here because it would take 10,000 years 😅 but the list includes bands such as Karnivool, Birds of Tokyo, John Butler, Genesis Owusu, Paramore & Death Cab for Cutie to name just a tiny fraction of acts that Benn has toured with in venues from tiny clubs to massive stadiums & everything in between, travelling all around our beautiful country & the globe (including some crazy times to Russia & India, which we hear about during the chat.)

Benn has also been the Artist Relations manager @ Warner Music for a few years, but his most important job out of all of this cool stuff is that of a loving husband and father - I don’t know how he does it all but mad respect to Benn & his family & we have a great catch up about how he got into it & some of his adventures along the way. 💥🙌🏼

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin’ hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It’s hotter than one of the gigs that went down in India that Benn was on and so go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 🤯🔥🌶️
