The second volume, Pulling Back The Curtain: Fan Appreciation in Unexpected Places, explores an unexpected outcome from Janco's recent content collaboration with rock band, Umphrey's McGee. Originally developed to provide an authentic look at life on the road, the project documented the people, places, and processes responsible for moving a national tour from city to city.
What emerged was a growing appreciation from fans for the individuals and organizations working behind the scenes. Through social media engagement and audience feedback, viewers expressed curiosity about the drivers, production teams, venues, logistics partners, and operational coordination required to support live entertainment.
In response, Janco used Volume 002 to examine how transparency, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes content can help audiences better understand the broader ecosystem that supports touring. The briefing highlights the often unseen network of professionals responsible for transportation, production, venue operations, and tour execution.
“The response reminded us that fans care about more than the performance itself,” said Matt Pitek Rosenthal, Director of Operations at Janco. “They appreciate the people, planning, and partnerships that make every show possible. It was encouraging to see so many people interested in understanding what happens behind the scenes and recognizing the contributions of the crews, drivers, and teams that support the industry every day.”
The initiative reflects Janco's broader effort to celebrate the community that powers live entertainment while documenting the operational realities of modern touring. While artists may be the most visible part of the experience, every successful performance relies on a network of professionals working together toward the same goal: delivering memorable experiences for fans.
Volume 002 of The Long Haul is available as a visual briefing deck and social media series highlighting fan engagement, industry storytelling, and the people behind live entertainment.
