Backline Technical

Looking after the band's instruments, not the crew's system

The audio system is the crew's. The instruments are the band's. The backline technician looks after the band's: the guitars and basses, the amplifiers and pedalboards, the drum kit, the keyboards, and all the small things that keep them playing: strings, heads, batteries, cables, picks and sticks.
