After a great massage even if it’s just 15 minutes the artists is usually more than willing to oblige. That’s when a massage therapist can ask for the selfie. It’s not that you can’t acknowledge that they are a celebrity, just do it after you have done a great massage. Stay in the moment to ensure your massage is effective and appropriate. No matter who the celebrity is they are still just a person looking for relief. NHI: What advice do you have for people who are interested in doing massage gigs like this? There were other artists I would have gone to see but I was working. Patrick: At this year’s festival it was Gorillaz, Little Dragon, Schoolboy Q and Solange.
NHI: Which artists did you enjoy seeing perform the most? Patrick:I worked the festival in 2016 and will continue in the upcoming years because I have a fun time and you never know what kind of networking can come of it. NHI: Have you done massage at Outside Lands before? I worked Friday and Sunday but many massage therapists only worked one day out of the three.

We also massaged the crew backstage as well. NHI: Which artists did you get to massage during Outside Lands? It’s nice to think maybe I helped the performance. However, it’s the little things that are most enjoyable like when an artist you massaged before they went on stage finishes their set and gives you a thumbs up as they go backstage again. Patrick: I love music so for me, having the opportunity to listen to a wide variety of artists is a general highlight. NHI: What was the highlight of your experience doing massage at Outside Lands?
