LEIGH ANN

RODGERS

Raised in Jamestown, Rhode Island with frequent visits to my other home, Lima, Peru, my love for the combination of traveling, photography, and obsessive planning began. There is no other option for me than to be on the road, the highway feels like home and I am addicted to chasing the feeling of collective effervescence. As of Summer 2021 I have been full-time as a tour manager, merch manager, and photographer.

At 14 (2012) I began frequenting the local Providence music scene, shot my first show, and never stopped.

Since 2018 I have been closely working with pop-punk superstars Meet Me @ The Altar, who I spent the first few years of my career on the road with and continue to tour with today, in 2026. In 2022 and 2023 I tour managed, merch managed, and photographed Pinkshift’s (Hopeless Records) first US headliner and photographed the cover artwork for their album Love Me Forever.

In 2022 I was apart of the Soyar’s Lecture Series at Syracuse University, speaking about the touring side of the music industry. In 2025, I was a guest on Berklee College of Music’s Music Business Journal’s Cut Time podcast.

In 2025 I started tour managing for Jensen McRae. We have toured in the US, CA, UK, EU, MX, NZ, and AU since we have started working together only about a year ago.
