Welcome Backstage, Roadies!
You
You are the sound tech who struggles with your mental health. You are the rigger who hasn’t been home in four months, missing the soccer games, the plays, the little moments with your kids that can not be repeated. You are the guitar tech who is fighting to stay clean amid the chaotic thrill of touring. You know the sweat that goes into unpacking and repacking a small village night after night, consistently giving the crowd an unforgettable experience while you remain in the shadows backstage.
We are here for each and every one of you…inclusively yours…we are The Roadie Clinic.

Us
The Roadie Clinic was born after 20 years of running boards, hopping planes, and burning the spotlight at both ends. We lived the highs in our industry, working dream gigs across the globe with household celebrity names (yes, we have the passes to prove it), but those passes, those accomplishments, also brought some real lows. The strain on relationships back home. The stress of keeping yourself whole, healthy and positive in the middle of a 30-day run and/or the 18-hour days.
Solving problems on the fly and doing it all without a safety net.

Why
After all those trials and triumphs, we realized one thing. We must create a safety net. We must create a real-world and virtual environment for support that keeps each of you more healthy, more connected, ultimately a better version of yourself – both personally and professionally. So we did for you what we have done a thousand times over for artists – we simply made it happen.
The Roadie Clinic is a place for roadies – with roadies centerstage.
What
We brought together experts in mental health, substance abuse treatment, financial services and many others – in order to provide programming for roadies and their families. We have built our home support clinic in Niles, MI to provide roadies a haven for whatever storm they are weathering. A space where they can heal their bodies and spirits while spending time with their families. So yes, while we have a home, we also realize that most of us live on the road, so The Roadie Clinic can meet you where you are, when you need us and however that works best for you.
Exhale….together we got this.
