Welcome to Side Stage Tour, our community is for spouses and partners of anyone involved in bringing a live music tour to life.

We provide a compassionate community for partners of touring musician professionals to share experiences, find solace & resources, and build lasting connections no matter where you live.

We’ve done our research and asked our members… there’s nothing like us out there.

Our Why

STORIES FROM OUR CO-FOUNDERS & BOARD MEMBERS

“I was still longing for community and for friends that understood what it felt like to watch their partner follow their dreams, fully support them, but also wish they were home more often.”
— Kelly
read her full why here

“…when you go from 3 years of waking up and falling asleep next to your husband, it can be a nice change of pace to be alone while he’s on tour… until that “solo-honeymoon” phase wears off and you’re feeling like you’re single again… but with a ring on your finger.
— Laura
