We Are The Road Crew Podcast

Having won two Knight Of Illumination Awards for his work with Nick Mulvey and Anna Calvi, it is an honor to have on this week's show Lighting and Production Designer Tom Campbell. Tom sat down with Stephen to talk through his fascinating career, which currently spans more than 15 years and begins on a journey of inspiration seeing Muse live at a young age and then learning his craft doing Theatre shows at the Bristol Hippodrome. This led quickly to the world of music and production touring, beginning with bands such as Devil Sold His Soul and Rolo Tomassi, which allowed Tom to perfect his craft and bring his visual genius to huge stages for the likes of Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes, Crossfaith, While She Sleeps, Bullet For My Valentine, and 30 Seconds To Mars. Tom has proved he can work across multiple genres of music and has also worked with the likes of Zane Lowe, Sports Team, Katy B, John Grant, Yungblud and The Black Queen.

We promised you an amazing end to this season of the podcast and we have delivered it, by bringing you a unique, open, and intimate conversation with Chad Zaemisch, who, for over 16 years has been the Guitar Tech for James Hetfield of Metallica. Undoubtedly one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Chad is responsible for James's signature guitar tone and everything you hear from his amps when Metallica grace the biggest and best stages in the world. Chad also goes back in his career and talks to us about how he started in the industry with alt-rock band The Breeders, and then his time looking after the guitars of Courtney Love and Hole.

We go on a journey of her career to date beginning with early 90's American rock giants Spin Doctors and their rapid journey from small clubs to huge arena shows, and Michelle's equally successful progression to working with Styx, Mr. Big, Gwen Stefani, Melissa Etheridge, Goo Goo Dolls and many more. Most recently Michelle was working with the legend that is Elvis Costello when COVID 19 cut short her run with him after a triumphant London show at the Apollo Hammersmith.
