Stars, tour buses, flights, hotel stops – and sometimes even a late-night call to action to get people and equipment on the right track: The Artist Driver Team coordinates artist transportation, backline trucks, and last-minute requests – discreetly, flexibly, and always with the goal of ensuring the musicians arrive relaxed. In the new Backline Blog from Baloise Session – brought to you by AMAG – Theres Riggenbach shares how she’s been organizing these transports for 20 years. Thirteen drivers, countless arrivals, and last-minute changes all have to come together. Every flight is monitored, every route is planned, and every tour bus is given instructions. “My main goal is for everyone to arrive satisfied, and to make sure I don’t leave anyone stranded anywhere,” says Theres. Chauffeur Christine offers a glimpse into her daily routine behind the wheel of a Baloise Session limousine: She’s driven stars like Seal, Grace Jones, and Rod Stewart, handles impromptu stops along the way, and makes sure the artists arrive at the stage – and back at their hotel or the airport—feeling relaxed. An exciting report on coordination, improvisation, passion – and years of experience that ensure relaxed stars and a smooth festival evening!
