Stay ConnectedMy name is Dana B. I bailed on my corporate job to travel & tour with bands. I tour manage the Boston based band, Piebald. I’ve also worked as a roadie for bands such as: The Story So Far, The Front Bottoms, Bayside, Thrice, Hot Rod Circuit, Alkaline Trio, and Unearth.
On the podcast I interview my favorite musicians in the hardcore / punk / emo / indie adjacent music scene.
