Tour Life Mag is a digital publication that shines a light on your favorite bands, the crew members and other creatives that make tours, music, and music videos possible. We want to provide you with stunning photographs of your favorite bands, give you a behind the scenes look into their lives through unique interviews, help you find your new favorite song through distinctive reviews, and give you insight into what it takes to make a concert, album, or music video happen from industry professionals.
A message from our founder: I started this publication to get more women, POC & LGBT+ people into the music photography and journalism world and help them get the advice, insight, connections and friendships that they need to launch their career in the music industry. Having started out in this industry at 15 years old as a young queer woman I faced a lot of sexism and sexual harassment, I struggled to find information I needed to know about the industry to grow, I was being turned down for opportunities due to my gender and I had a lot of negative experiences from the cis white men who dominate this industry. I wanted to help create a safer, more inclusive version of the music industry and give new creatives the encouragement, insight and resources they need to be successful and happy doing what they love.

I’m a queer Austinite with a love for live music and storytelling. I spent my early 20s traveling the country (and beyond) writing about music festivals and concerts. I also worked on an electronic music label for a year where I learned much about the inner workings of the music industry. My attention diverted to other mediums in the past few years, but my love for music journalism and the industry never died. I’m so excited to get back in the game and start writing for Tour Life Mag!

My name is Mae and I am a concert photographer based out of Minneapolis, though I love to travel out-of-state to catch shows. I have always loved music, but my passion for photography actually first started in the outdoors. Documenting my travels allowed me to tightly hold onto my memories of my favorite places around the country. It wasn’t until I moved to the Twin Cities that I stumbled into the spectacular world of concert photography due to my proximity to famous venues such as First Avenue. I am now involved in several of the venues in my area, working shows and shooting when I can. See you in the pit!

Hi there! My name is Kenai (pronounced like bill nye but with key instead of bill) and I'm a genderfluid photographer/artist based in Southern California. My favorite things to capture are concerts, animals/nature, and my friends. In my free time I love to doodle or find ways to be creative. I make all kinds of things ranging from digital art and paper crafts to making earrings and playing with resin. If I'm not making something it's probably because I've found a binge-worthy show that I can't seem to peel away from.

I’m a writer based out of Southern California. Right now, my main focus is music journalism, covering new music and show reviews, interviews, and a look inside the local scene. Having a life that has been engulfed in the music scene since I was born, I feel that I want to share the adrenaline and excitement that comes from the music scene, and even more so expose people to its’ community and culture. My main goal is to one day write for something like CREEM Magazine, doing what I do now; or on the other hand, write for the LA Times covering lifestyle, culture, activism or art.

Kim is a freelance booking agent, sound engineer, and photographer based in Topeka, Kansas. She recently graduated with a bachelors in Mass Media with an emphasis in public relations and spends most of her time working any gig she can get her hands on. Thanks to the pandemic, Kim has had plenty of time to find new hobbies including plant collecting, photography, and hiking. She enjoys long walks on the beach which is a big problem when living in a landlocked state… So she really spends most of her free time hanging out with her two cats, buying more plants she *definitely* has room for in her tiny apartment, and thrifting all kinds of fun and exciting things.

Howdy, my name is Erika and I’m a freelance photographer from Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been doing photography for about 9 years now. My love for taking photos first began when I got my very first iPhone (a 4s) and I thought the camera quality was just immaculate. I took photos of anything and everything with it, which ultimately led my parents to get me my first DSLR for Christmas. Ever since then I haven’t been able to put my camera down, and I’ve dabbled in so many different areas of photography since. It’s always been a goal of mine to shoot concerts, so I’m thrilled to be a part of this publication!

I am a photographer based out of Houston, Texas and I specialize in concert photography. My passions for photography and concerts collided in 2018 when I decided to bring my camera to a small venue to shoot the show. I believe that music is one of the strongest forms of magic. Capturing moments in time opens up a world of emotion that would otherwise be lost when the music stops.
