Everyone was starting to get food for themselves, including Tom who paused when questioned. Mostly, he didn't have an answer for the younger man... you pass an emotional check was neither helpful nor encouraging.
"Yes, Ziggy has the final say on who joins the tour." Tom could easily confirm that. "For the other bands, meeting him and talking mostly. Some of the others have mentioned knowing or being involved with someone already on the tour or trusted has helped."
He knew that having someone else vouch for someone was always part of the music industry, this tour or any other. Even venues opened their doors to musicians for that reason more often than not. "I don't think he's formally auditioned anyone aside from his own band."
Sure, Ziggy had gone and watched the bands play but he hadn't set them down in a studio or something. Maybe he was looking at more, the organic and how they worked the crowd. Tom couldn't be sure and so didn't mention that part. "I know you are familiar with Rekker. Do you know any of the others?"
