The touring life offers incredible rewards but also unique challenges, which is why ECCHO Live provides the "All Access" program for free counseling sessions, ensuring privacy and support for those in the live entertainment industry and their loved ones.

Your mental health matters, and we’re here for you, which is why we are pleased to provide free onsite counseling at major festivals and events across the country! This program aims to bring support directly to you, ensuring that help is available when and where you need it most.
Who We Are
The fall Workshop is a free annual event founded by Chris Lisle and Erik Parker to support and educate professionals in the touring music industry. Since its inaugural event in 2011, the Workshop has grown to serve over 350 attendees annually. As an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ECCHO Live offers resources like expert-led sessions on health insurance, retirement planning, and business management tailored for freelance technicians who are, in essence, running their own businesses. Beyond the workshop, ECCHO Live provides networking events for industry connections and the "All Access" program, which offers free counseling sessions to support mental health and well-being.
