Crew

Lott Shudde
Tour Manager

Manager and road manager from 1991-2003 in Nashville, TN and then in Austin, TX for such acts like Two Hearts, Geoff Moore & The Distance, Audio Adrenaline, Mark Lowry, newsboys, Plankeye, THIRD DAY, Caedmon's Call, Bebo Norman, and Vigilantes of Love - and other acts in the country, pop, rock genres that didn't make the grade and therefore you have never heard of...

Entrepreneurial hiatus from music from 2004 - 2008 led to the formation of Energy Conservation Industries, LLC (www.energyconservationindustries.com) before being resurrected by THIRD DAY to return to the road to help out with Revelation... and they haven't been able to get rid of me since, but neither has my energy conservation business - so here's to burning the candle at both ends!

Loves include my smoking hot wife wife and kids, Diet Dr. Pepper and sweet tea, anything in and from TEXAS (aka God's country), watching sports (live or on TV), and time to sit and think about innovations and how to make make life better...

I have been with Third Day for around 750 shows now and have been touring full time since 1997. I have done around 1400 live shows now. I have a degree in Music Business,(not that that means anything).
