Dear Songwriters, Composers, and Artists,

Pro guitarist Sean Hurwitz plays with big acts on stages all over the world and gets paid well to do it! It’s got to be a pretty exciting life.

During COVID, not so much!

But Hurwitz is a “hustler” in the best sense of the word, so he’s ramping up his home studio productions of music for media to create future income while he’s got some unexpected and unwanted down time.

Sean always brings his “A-Game,” whether he's writing, producing, recording, or touring and playing stadiums with top-echelon artists like Enrique Iglesias, Smash Mouth, Gin Blossoms, and more. On this episode of TAXI TV, you’ll learn how this multi-faceted "hired gun" has built an enviable career and pivoted when he had to!

A recent av-tech/roadie panel during an industry livestream had three tech's on the panel agreeing that the upcoming season of touring will be the tightest labor market 'ever' for band & venue techs because every band in the world is going to start touring at the same time. The panel also agreed that the next few touring seasons would be very difficult because there would have to be so many newbies taken aboard to fill the need for hands, while simultaneously a lot of the experienced hands, who would normally train the newbies, have left the industry for good during this long downturn, and even found 'better work' during the downturn which would make them less likely to ever return anyway (less harsh than road life & better paying).

This perspective was interesting to hear directly from the hard working techs themselves.
