About Backstage Cowboys

Exposing the Rear-End of Showbusiness (So You Don’t Have To)

​

If you’ve ever duct-taped a cable and called it "show-ready," you're one of us.

Backstage Cowboys is the brainchild of a battle-scarred tech who’s seen it all — the missed cues, the mystery buzzes, the broken truss pins, and yes, the unforgettable smell of road cases that should’ve been retired with the cassette deck.

​

We're not the stars. We light the stars. We mic the stars. We hold their fly rails, strike their props, and fix the stuff they broke — all while being invisible. Until now.

​

The Podcast

Raw stories, tech fails, pro tips, and conversations with the unsung heroes of live shows, theater, TV, and film. Because let's face it — we’ve got better stories than the actors do.

​

The Blog

​

Gear reviews, survival hacks, and tales from the road. One part manual, one part confessional, all written with the dry wit of someone who’s gaffer-taped their soul back together more than once.

​

The Store (coming soon)

​

No fluff. Just tools, templates, and merch for techs who actually work gigs. Digital downloads, cue sheet kits, shirts that won’t make you look like a merch table leftover.

​

Members Only

Exclusive downloads, early podcast drops, and behind-the-scenes content for those who want to go deeper — or just need better cue sheets.
