This week we have my good friend Daniel Nickleski on the podcast. Daniel owns and operates Sound Works out of Illinois and currently tours with Kygo. Daniel and I set off with the intention to talk about how COVID has affected the music industry - and we did do that, a little bit. But to be honest we mostly got lost in the sauce and just started talking about touring in general and tossed in some COVID here and there - and eventually dug up some embarrassing tour stories. All in all I think it’s a very well-balanced and fun episode. As always - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.   In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn: • How Daniel went from touring for 10 years with All Time Low to being a weekend warrior with Kygo • About an average day of a touring DJ crew • How Daniel juggles running Sound Works and touring • The importance of being a good hang on tour (00:00) Intro (03:16) Daniel gets on the bus (04:31) Dan’s early years in music (07:11) How Dan got started in the music industry (12:40) Taking a step back from touring (21:18) Getting back on the road with Kygo (30:26) What a workday with Kygo is like (41:11) Touring during Covid (52:11) What makes a good crew member (54:22) Stories from the road (01:01:02) Wrap up notes (01:04:29) Shower Shoes --- Johnny Minardi - Guest ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soundworksdan ► Sound Works: https://www.soundworkspro.com/ --- Don't Shit On The Bus Podcast ► Website: http://www.dontshitonthebus.com ► Spotify: http://bit.ly/DSotBspotify ► Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/DSotBapple ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/DSotBpodcast ► Instagram: https://instagram.com/DSotBpodcast ► Facebook: https://facebook.com/DSotBpodcast ► Patreon: https://patreon.com/DSotB --- Adam Elmakias - Host ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/elmakias ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elmakias ► Website: https://www.adamelmakias.com --- Edited & Produced by Connor Gaskey
