157: LARRY MARTIN/Founder/Tour Supply Inc.

iTunes         Spotify         Youtube           Patreon Larry Martin is the founder and owner of Tour Supply Inc., accommodating touring professionals with the gear they need from locations in Los Angeles CA (Third Encore) and Nashville, TN (Soundcheck), a showroom location in Lititz, PA (Rock Lititz), and a shop in Manchester, UK. With over two decades of experience, Tour Supply has proven to be the one stop shop for touring professionals. You can trace the origins all the way back to a fortuitous meeting Larry had while he was trying to figure out the next steps of his young life. That chance meeting and job offer would change Larry's life forever and create a network for him that would last almost 30 years.
