The Short Version

Tour Manager with over 20 years across every scale of live music—clubs, arenas, amphitheaters, stadiums—and eight countries. Background in audio engineering turned full-time management. Strongest behind the scenes: building structure, staying ahead of problems, and making sure the team has everything they need to do their jobs well. Comfortable with budgets, compliance, logistics, and the details that tend to get overlooked until they cost someone. Steady, prepared, and easy to work with.

We've never seen a day sheet that clean. Frankly, it made the rest of us look bad.

What The Day
Actually Looks Like

Tour budgeting, accounting, and reconciliation
Routing and scheduling against real numbers—miles, hours, cost
DOT, union, labor, and payroll compliance
Venue and promoter coordination, contract management
Daily operations, personnel, and ground logistics
VIP, hotel blocks, and travel arrangements
Problem-solving before it hits the day sheet
Building systems the next person can walk into and use

If Philip Haney doesn't have it on a spreadsheet, it probably doesn't exist.
