Here is the abstract:

/The Road Crew: Live Music and Touring/is an in-depth study of the road 
crew – the group of workers who handle the logistical and technical 
requirements of popular music concert tours – that provides an extensive 
look at the activities and personnel involved in the daily operation of 
these events.

Using interviews with road crew members, participant observation at 
concert venues and archival research, this book covers a range of 
topics, including how they learn their roles and maintain work through 
networks and informal practices, the experience of being on tour and the 
workplace culture of road crews, the daily tasks and necessary documents 
that contribute to the realisation of concert events, and the integral 
role that tour managers play in the working lives of musicians. The book 
also provides important insights into the experience of women working in 
a male-dominated field, the ways in which hierarchy shapes the working 
lives of “support” workers and the effects of touring on road crew members.

/The Road Crew/will be of interest to scholars and students of popular 
music, live music and the creative industries, as well as music fans, 
journalists, and professionals and practitioners in the music industries.
