Running a tour is already a full-time job. Mixing monitors is another. Managing production is another. Owning a business on top of all of it? That’s a different level entirely.
In this episode, I sit down with Luke Reynolds, who serves as Tour Manager, Production Manager, Monitor Engineer, and Tour Director for Max McNown, while also running his own business outside of touring.
We talk about what it takes to balance multiple high-pressure roles on the road, how he manages communication and problem-solving across every part of the production, and the mindset required to keep a tour moving forward night after night. Luke shares insight into the realities of modern touring, the pressure that comes with wearing multiple hats, and how he’s built a career around adaptability and trust.
This conversation goes beyond one job title, it’s about leadership, responsibility, and the unseen work that keeps a live show running smoothly.
If you’ve ever wondered how tours actually function behind the scenes, and what happens when one person becomes the backbone of the operation, this is a rare inside look.
