Billy Hayes, Brian Anderson - From Midnight Express to Spinal Tap!

Billy Hayes is a writer, actor, & film director. He is best known as the author of Midnight Express. Since that book was published, he has written Riding the Midnight Express, the Midnight Express Letters, & Midnight Return. He currently performs a one man show about his life. A little background: The film Midnight Express was written by Oliver Stone. It won a ton of awards including 2 Oscars. A bit of fun… after the initial success of the movie Billy drove band equipment. He’s worked for Heart, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Sum41, Bare Naked Ladies, Train, & Good Charlotte.

My second guest is Brian Anderson. He is a front of house engineer and tour manager. He has worked for KISS, Julio Iglesias Jr., Blues Traveler, Hoobastank, Harry Shearer, Natasha Bedingfield, & the Heavy. He is also the CEO of Band Production Services. Not so much fun in my experience Brian has quite simply moved more band crap than anyone I’ve ever met.
