066: CHRIS WRIGHTSMAN/Production & Tour Manager/Young The Giant, O.A.R., Michelle Branch, Ozomatli

With twenty-five years of touring experience under his belt, Production manager/Tour Manager Chris Wrightsman certainly know his way around a venue or two. The Cleveland native is also not afraid to mix FOH, monitors, or even lend his hand as a lighting Designer. At the end of the day, it's about putting on a great show, keeping a level head, and getting to the next gig. I spoke with Chris backstage before a recent Young The Giant show at New York's Summer Stage in Central Park. It's a load-in/load-out not without it's complications, but we were still able to find time to chat about some of Chris's touring highlights. Here's just a short list of some of the bands that Chris has worked with; Young the Giant, Michelle Branch, Richie Sambora, O.A.R., Secret Stash, Yukon Cornelius, Ozomatli, Multiple Warped Tours, and many others.
