Road crew jobs don’t seem to be advertised and yet, when you look, there are dozens of bands playing gigs in every town, on every single night of the week. And most of these bands will employ at least one road crew person at each show they play. But, if roadie jobs are never advertised, how do these bands find the crew to work for them and, more importantly, how can you get one of those road crew jobs?
