You're Invited! | Backstage Huddle

This week's Backstage Huddle is a little different!

Rhyan takes a few minutes to personally invite you to the Touring Tales Book Release Party on July 28 as Stage Wives celebrates the launch of The Invisible Backpack, the very first book in our new children's series created for music industry families.

Hear what inspired us to create a book release that's more than just a signing. From family-friendly activities and community partners to resources for touring families, we're sharing why this night means so much to us and why we'd love for you to be part of it.

It's a short, lighthearted episode with a few laughs, a peek behind the scenes, and a personal invitation from our hearts to yours.

Whether you've been with Stage Wives from the beginning or you're just discovering our community, we hope you'll join us as we celebrate this exciting milestone together.

The year was 2026, and Ryan was so tired. Welcome to the Stage Five Speak Easy. Cover charge. Your sanity. Welcome back to the Backstage Huddle, and it's looking a little different this time around, if you can't tell. Just over here with an absolutely filthy studio. Sometimes we forget that we're allowed to pause. And that's exactly what Ray and I are doing. We're pausing this week on releasing a full podcast. I invite you to take a rest in the chaos with me. Take a deep breath. But you know, while you're here and while we're hanging out, I want to personally invite you to something that is incredibly special to us. On July 28th, Rachel and I are celebrating the release of our very first Touring Tales children's book. Yes, yes, you heard Touring Tales. So these are children's books written specifically for our industry. Are there any others? Not that we have found. The first book is called The Invisible Backpack. And July 28th, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Homestead Manor here in Thompson Station, we will be hosting our book release party! Most authors do book release parties before their book is actually released. Well, we are not a traditional organization, so we decided to have a very untraditional book release party. And here's what I mean by that. We wanted it to feel like Stagewives, where community comes first. So we've invited some of our favorite people and organizations from the music industry to join us. They will be there as vendors, they will be there as guests, there will be resources for touring families, there will be so many activities for kids, and of course, lots of opportunities to connect with each other. Whether you've been with Stagewives for a long time or you're brand new to the community, we really hope that you come and celebrate with us. You are what makes Stagewives special, and it wouldn't be the same without you. So come say hi, grab a hug, grab some charcuterie, grab some free giveaways, meet some incredible people, get a signed copy of the book. Or if you just want to come hang out and enjoy a night of being among people who get this lifestyle, like come on. We cannot wait for you to be there. It's gonna be a really fun night, but in the meantime, take a breath, take a day off. And I hope this video has been proof that we practice what we preach. The pizza has been ordered, the house is a mess, but we are prioritizing peace, everybody. Love you so much, Stagewife, and I will see you on July 28th. Let's go.
