About Us

Dreamliner

In late 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with music touring at a standstill, Founder Rich Thomson had an opportunity to purchase 12 touring buses. With no certainty when touring would commence again, Thomson took a bet on the live music industry – these 12 coaches were the beginning of Dreamliner Luxury Coaches.

In less than a year, as Thomson hoped, large-scale concerts returned and in August 2021 Dreamliner embarked on its first post-COVID tour with The Jonas Brothers, led by Tour Director David Licursi.

With consumer interest in live experiences at an all time high, Dreamliner sought to expand its capabilities and reach, leading to the acquisition of Diamond Coach Leasing in June of 2022. The purchase more than doubled Dreamliner’s fleet, established new headquarters in Nashville, TN, and expanded the company’s ability to serve the country music industry. Shortly thereafter, with dozens of coaches touring throughout the United States simultaneously, Dreamliner opened a secondary facility in Fontana, CA, allowing in-house servicing to its coaches on the West Coast.

In late 2023, concluding its third year of operations, Dreamliner purchased Hemphill Brothers Coach Company, an acquisition that nearly tripled the number of coaches in the company’s fleet. With nearly 200 coaches and the ability to service more than 50 percent of the larger arena stadium tours in the U.S., Dreamliner became the largest provider of entertainer coaches in the world. Clients now included the hottest names in entertainment, Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Chris Stapleton, Pink, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo, The Weeknd, Beyoncé, Tool, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Black Crowes, Luke Bryan, and many more. Dreamliner’s services extended to providing best-in-class executive coaches for group meetings and executive trips for Fortune 500 companies including NASCAR, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and the Professional Golfers’ Association of America.

Less than a year after purchasing Hemphill Brothers, Dreamliner Luxury Coaches announced another significant milestone with the acquisition of two tour logistics businesses, Denver-based Shomotion and Nashville-based Show Pro. Through these acquisitions, Dreamliner expanded its services outside of live music to motion picture productions, mobile marketing campaigns, theatrical productions, festivals, and more. Dreamliner gained both Shomotion’s five-acre Denver facility and Show Pro’s Nashville three-acre facility, over 70 trucks, and 220 trailers. These acquisitions place Dreamliner in every major US music tour between new trucks and coaches, adding tremendous value to Dreamliner’s client base servicing all transportation and logistics needs for touring. Additional clientele now includes Taylor Swift, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Coldplay, Elton John and more.
