Michael Nachtigal began his career in the 1960’s as a musician, and has spanned the sum of 50 years, during which time he has toured every continent, has worked with such diverse acts as Lional Richie, Carman, Grand Funk Railroad, Kitaro, Ritchie Blackmore & Rainbow, Donny & Marie Osmond, Aretha Franklin, Power Rangers, Megadeath, Linda Rondstadt, and Usher, just to name a few over his five decades on the road.

Michael now shares his history of touring with numerous acts in his new book “It’s Been A Good Run”, which provides a behind the scenes insight, what it was like being a tour manager and production manager, and sheds some light into the backstage areas of the concert business.
