Live Nation has recently 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 the backstage crews that help them make their concert dreams a reality.
This episode features Ali Vatter (Production Coordinator), Bobby Herr (Production Manager), Jennifer Tini (PA to Christine McVie) and Marty Hom (Tour Manager) from the Fleetwood Mac crew. Listen below as they discuss their family vibe on tour, the pre-show and encore rituals, plus everything in between. “Backstage with Crew Nation” highlights the voices that make up the resilient live music community.
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.
