Bryan "Froggy" Cross — Tour Manager for The Doobie Brothers
If you ask Froggy what a tour sells, he doesn’t say decibels. He says feeling.
The chest-thump of the kick, the shared noise of a crowd, the small chaos you can’t stream—those are the reasons you get off the couch. And his biggest contribution is making sure those feelings show up on time, every night, with the artist confident enough to take risks because the mix will hold.
There's something to be said about going to a show and feeling that kick drum in your chest, you know, getting a beer spilled on you.
That’s where in-ears and monitoring live in his world: not as gadgets, but as tools that let the artist hear exactly what they need to do the thing you paid to feel. Froggy’s gift is turning production into trust—aligning rehearsals, RF, comms, and stage flow so the emotion scales from the first row to the last.
He’s the rare tour lead who can talk to engineers, talk to artists, and talk to civilians without changing languages. Which is why he’s in this film: to remind us the gear is only the means. The product is the experience.
Listen to Froggy explain what an in-ear monitor actually is—and, more importantly, what it does.

True
• Defines the job as emotional delivery: monitoring and mixes in service of what the crowd should feel. • Explains IEMs clearly for non-pros and ties them to repeatability, safety, and artist confidence. • Trusted trendsetter: bridges artist needs and production systems without drama; a field barometer.
Landing Froggy while he was running the Doobie Brothers tour gave us a rare voice: a tour boss who’s fluent on camera and honest about why the tech matters. He can translate the artist’s intent, keep the crew calm, and still speak to the person in row 300 about what those little things in the ears actually do. He’s our guide to the live show as a felt experience, not just a signal chain.

Froggy gives the honest fan’s-eye view: even seasoned tour pros still split credit between Marty and Jerry—and worry about getting “caught” on camera picking a side. It’s perfect for our origin montage, underscoring how memory and myth blur when innovations emerge in parallel. Use to contrast with dated timelines and product milestones.

Froggy puts words to the irreplaceable part of concerts: low-frequency energy you feel in your body and the messy, shared moment you can’t stream. Paired with his “million-dollar PA” line, it explains why the craft exists—monitoring and mixes make that chest-thump musical, safe, and repeatable for the crowd.

Froggy nails why we leave the couch: a stadium-grade PA, crew, and system that can move air and emotion in a way no living room can. It validates the craft—monitoring, mixes, show flow—as the machinery that translates art to impact at scale. It’s the argument for being there.

Froggy reframes touring as emotional delivery, not just faders—every tech choice serves what the crowd should feel. From the rehearsal room to the deck, his standard is simple: can we translate the artist’s intent, reliably, night after night? It’s the lodestar for why monitoring, mixes, and show flow matter.
