Events Staffing in Johnson City

Load-in starts at dawn and the doors open on time either way. Appalachian Labor builds the crew that sets the room, works the gates, pours the drinks, and breaks it all down. Give us the venue and the call time. A real person answers when you call.

From ETSU and downtown Johnson City to festivals across the region, we staff setup hands, servers, bartenders, and team leads. We tell you the headcount we can field, then we dispatch. Everyone is W-2 and covered.
