Lost Motel’s newbies include Rowan Johnson as Senior Touring Operations Manager and three exciting new additions to the touring team, Tracey Bonavia, Breiana Bennetts and Kyra Cumming, all joining alongside stalwart Rosie Potter.

Rowan Johnson’s touring experience extends all the way back to 2005 and includes legendary artists such Neil Finn, Robyn, Cut Copy and Flight Facilities. Most recently, Rowan was the Manager of Event Operations for Auckland Council.

“I am thrilled to be working with Sophie, Yasmin, their team and all of their artists. Throughout the Lost Motel family there’s a great mix of familiar faces and exciting new ones,” says Rowan Johnson. “I’m looking forward to solving all of the logistical challenges that come my way and bringing my experience to help their artists put on their best shows yet.”

Prior to joining Lost Motel, Tracey Bonavia was a GM of Touring in the travel industry, working closely and on a daily basis with Tour Managers and artists to deliver successful tours and festivals globally.

Breiana Bennetts has been working in events for over a decade, with a focus on festival event management both in New Zealand and abroad. She’s already hit the ground running working alongside Yasmin at the sold-out Bob Moses show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver.

And rounding up the new additions, Kyra Cumming was previously the Senior Sound Engineer and Entertainment Assistant at The Beach Hotel, Byron Bay. She’s frequently involved in local events and festivals in the NSW Northern Rivers Music Community and is passionate about the industry.
