Tre Stead, Tour Manager

Hello and welcome back to women in music, the podcast sharing the tales and careers of modern singular voices in music - they all just happen to be female.I’ve been sitting on this episode for a while and waiting for the right moment to release it. What with the government having just announced no extra funding for the industry and suggesting people within the creative industries should retrain, now seems like the time when this episode is more relevant that ever. Tre Stead has been a tour manager for almost two decades, working with artists like Jessie Ware, Laura Marling, Father John Misty and many others. When lockdown happened, Tre was on tour with Frank Turner. They had to abandon their tour and head home, not knowing when they would return to work.As you’ll hear, Tre has since found another job in an entirely different industry and still has no idea when she’ll be able to get back to her career that she’s worked so hard to establish.If you’ve found yourself in a similar position, we’ve made a resource pack over on Instagram which includes emergency funding, mentoring opportunities and charities where donations can be made too.I hope everyone’s doing okay and thanks for listening.Please do rate, review and subscribe to the podcast.
