12 Rules for Band Life is a musician's guide to navigating the chaos of working in bands—with wisdom, humour, and hard-earned insight. Blending spiritual insight, tour-bus realism, and a dose of dry wit, this book distills three decades of performance and production experience into 12 clear, actionable principles. This is The Rules of Work for musicians, crossed with the storytelling charm of The Music Lesson and the philosophical edge of 12 Rules for Life —a guide that shows how playing music for a living can be both a calling and a craft.
