ARTICLE BY UNISON FUND
On Friday, November 10th Unison was thrilled to be a part of Indie Week’s Health & Wellness Day with a whole afternoon of panels, workshops and conversations focused on combating addiction and mental illness and staying healthy in the music industry. Greatly expanded from a single hour-long panel in 2016, Indie Week assembled a line up of panelists and speakers who brought incredible frankness about their personal struggles, successes and advice on staying physically and mentally healthy while touring, performing and building a career in music.
“I have to take care of me. I am not effective for my artists or anyone else on the road if I am not spiritually, emotionally and physically fit.” - CHUCK RANDALL (THE CULT/ALICE IN CHAINS)
The day’s highlight was the feature panel with Chuck Randall (tour manager for Alice in Chains / The Cult) and Martin Atkins (Nine Inch Nails, Public Image Ltd.) two experts on making it through a life on the road.
