This has become a thing..bands trying to do something for their road crews
That’s a side of the business nobody talks much about
Often the road crew start as a band’s original fans, friends and family and bands get very close with their crew... over the years and multiple tours everyone bonds... road crew kids might grow up playing with band member kids...often their crew are also musicians..sometimes when bands lose members someone from the road crew is promoted to replace the original band member... sometimes road crew members do side projects with a band member... sometimes someone starts out as road crew and then leaves to make their own band and music
It’s an interesting dynamic
