My name is Riley Vasquez and I live in Nashville, Tennessee.

After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in 2011, I moved to Nashville to follow my dreams.

For the last decade, I have been a professional tour manager and front of house engineer helping artists tour efficiently and perform great sounding live shows throughout the US across 4 continents and over 20 different countries. And I’ve had the pleasure of working with great bands like Colony House, Switchfoot, Walk the Moon, American Authors, Coin, and many others.

Through my experience, I found how difficult it was for behind-the-scenes workers to find jobs in the live music touring industry; so in 2019 I founded Tour Collective with a mission to help touring crew members find jobs, advance in their career, and ultimately create better lives for themselves.

Tour Collective recently launched its first educational course called How to be a Tour Manager - which teaches aspiring students, audio engineers, and other professional touring personnel how to successfully manage live music tours.

Currently I live in the 12th South neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee and am usually seen wearing a hat and drinking a cup of Crema coffee.

Let’s work together! Email me. I’d love to connect with you!
