The Mental Health Manual Every Touring Musician Needs.

Psychotherapist and music industry veteran Tamsin Embleton on her essential guide to surviving life on the road.

Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual hit shelves—and the music business’ consciousness—in 2023. This year, the much-needed audiobook for the 600+ page book was released. Edited by award-winning psychotherapist and music industry health consultant Tamsin Embleton, who founded the nonprofit Music Industry Therapist Collective in 2018, the longtime music professional contributed the introduction and seven of the book’s 30 chapters. She brought in specialist mental health experts for the others from her extensive network cultivated over years of working as a talent booker, promoter, tour manager, and manager, and of course, therapist.
