FLORENCE — This week marks the nationwide release of “The Art of the Drive,” an immersion into the road experiences of touring artists by author Dave Beck.
“The Art of the Drive” is a look into the mostly unknown world of touring entertainers. It is about life on the road — what it’s like to be on tour with acts like Paul McCartney, U2, The Eagles, Foreigner, Journey, Michael Buble, Sade, Chicago, Huey Lewis and many others. In this book, the author shares how there is a different city almost every day for months at a time; a touring group becomes a family; everyone — from the artist to the band, crew and drivers — are traveling in a 45-foot bus with eight to 10 others. Dive into the pages of “The Art of the Drive,” and experience their adventure as if you were traveling with them on the road!
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores

Author Beck shares that driving entertainers on tours all over North America for 25 years was an adventure in itself. Tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes, floods and a 30-day trek across Canada in January with a temperature of 45 degrees below zero are just few of the exciting happenings when you are on the road. The challenges along the way only add to the story.
