Ryan Dusick When I left the band Maroon 5 in 2006 due to chronic injuries rendering me unable to perform, I could barely wrap my head around what was happening to me, let alone understand what had caused it. I knew I had chronic pain in my right shoulder and that my nerves were refusing to coordinate drumming, but I couldn’t fully recognize the extent to which my mental health (or lack thereof) had greatly contributed to the breakdown.
Deep-down I had a feeling that something more substantial was happening to me: that I had been rocked to my very core by the lifestyle of a touring musician. But the public discourse around these things was pretty much non-existent at that time, so I felt very alone in my suffering.
Now, finally, a comprehensive resource for understanding the unique challenges that touring professionals face is offering solutions specific to the lifestyle of performers and production crew alike. The new book “Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual” (Omnibus Press) is a godsend to artists and crew who find themselves in the position I was in 20 years ago.
As a performer who succumbed to the travails of touring, I wish I had access to this kind of supportive material back then. The 600-page encyclopedia on all things related to self-care for a touring person extensively covers every conceivable challenge you will experience on tour, including relationship strain (both on the road and back home); anxiety, depression and crisis management; chronic stress, addiction and eating disorders; physical, sexual and nutritional health; and the preparation and recovery involved in peak performance, media readiness and post-tour letdown.
