We all get a case of the after-show blues from time to time. We all know that we missed that one chord, we forgot that one focus position, or we just weren’t feelin’ it… Self-doubt, loneliness and lack of sleep can lead to depression, but there are resources that can help. Over The Bridge (OTB, overthebridge.org) has committed itself to making it easier for the music industry to gain access to support resources. OTB is helping artists and crewmembers to respect, inform and involve the music industry in the research about addictions and mental health.
