Live Nation launched a new series on the Live From Home platform in conjunction with the Crew Nation Fund called “Backstage with Crew Nation” — an authentic and uplifting giveback video series spotlighting relationships between touring artists and members of their backstage crews that help make their concert dreams a reality. The series highlights the voices that make up the resilient live music community.
This episode features REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin in conversation with their production manager, Michael Richter about their 14 year history on the road, their all time favorite live shows & more. Learn more about their close team in the video below.
The Crew Nation Fund was launched in April to help support touring and venue crews through this temporary intermission while COVID-19 puts concerts on pause. Live Nation has committed $10 million to Crew Nation, contributing an initial $5 million to the fund and then matching the next $5 million in donations, dollar for dollar. Artists from around the world have already supported this initiative with donations and activations from performers including John Mayer, U2, Metallica, Coldplay, Cher, Justin Timberlake, Aerosmith, Anderson.Paak, Twenty One Pilots, Backstreet Boys and more. If you want to help support crews, visit livenation.com/crewnation to donate or buy exclusive merch now.
