Tour Manager of the MELVINS: Gareth Turner

Tour Manager of the MELVINS: Gareth Turner

Welcome to today’s episode! Say hello to Gareth, the Tour Manager, amongst other things, of one of the most influential bands in rock history—the Melvins. Known as the godfathers of grunge and a major influence on the iconic Nirvana, the Melvins have shaped the sound of a generation. But today, we’re not talking about the music they make—we’re talking about the man who’s been by their side for 20 odd years.


Gareth’s journey into the music world wasn’t a straight line. His life was shaped by a series of working-class jobs—construction, plumbing, driving a van. Gareth’s story is one of perseverance and a deep love for the music that’s always been a part of him.


But it’s not just the music that drives him—it’s the people along the way, the bonds he’s built, and especially the care and love he has for his late Mum.


Music we mention:


Melvins


Gareth Turner

Nimaitres


Mr. Bungle


Hard Ons


Redd Kross


The Big Boys
