Media reviews of One for the Road: How To Be A Music Tour Manager by Mark Workman. Blabbermouth 1/13/14 (book review by Ray Van Horn, Jr) Workman loads “One For The Road: How To Be A Music Tour Manager” with plenty of humor and just enough sordid recounts of road life that will entertain even those who have no interest in a music industry career. However, Workman has provided priceless insight with his book which should be studied top-to-bottom by anyone looking to make their living in the business. If you think you have road life figured out and you don’t have the same amount of miles clocked as Mark Workman, think again and read “One For The Road: How To Be A Music Tour Manager”. Pittsburgh Music Magazine book review 10/21/13 “Mark Workman lays out such a comprehensive strategy to becoming a working tour manager that if one has the will, Workman provides the way. Add to that Workman’s writing style that is very smooth, humorous at times, and easy to understand, and you have one hell of a how to guide. It would not be surprising to see Berklee School of Music or The Musicians Institute making this book, or eventually the series, part of their curriculum…it’s that good.
