About Emily Bragg

I've been in the music industry since 2007. I started in music festival coordination and as I developed my skills, moved into artist & tour management. I have been a tour manager since 2010 and continue to grow after 14 years in the industry. I've worked with lots of female artists, including Brittany Howard, Kate Nash, Illana Glazer and Phoebe Robinson. I've also worked with some amazing men, including Justin Vernon, Jack Johnson, Cody Chesnutt and Local Natives. I'm always available to mentor & share my experiences so other women can start their careers in this industry with a leg up. Please feel free to contact me for work, mentoring or to simply bond as a woman in the industry. Love to you all!

Emily's Experience

My work as a tour manager has become a part of who I am over the past decade. My passion is to create a thriving tour environment through communication and structure while leaving room for creativity and flow. I work hard to put artists and crew at ease, so they can focus on the task at hand. It’s important to me to lead and organize with balance and create trusting relationships with the entire tour. The bonds I’ve formed with artists and crew over the years have shaped me professionally and personally.
