The trailer begins with a title card featuring a Tom Petty quote. "I think the general public has no idea what roadies do. Bless 'em all. I just play the songs. They make the show happen," the opening reads, before Eddie Vedder's "Hard Sun" kicks things off musically.
Showing life behind the scenes before the crowd enters and the show begins, Roadies focuses on the people who make things happen for the bands and artists taking the stage every night. The pilot will feature indie band The Head and the Heart, and each episode will include a different band or artist.
Speaking to the Television Critics Association in January, Crowe said, "I love music and stories where music is a character. Over time I was struck by the fact that Almost Famous spoke loudly to people. It was a very personal story for me and I didn't expect it to touch people that way."

The trailer opens with black and white footage restaging the Chet Baker Quartet's Birdland debut. It's a night that had Baker share the bill with Miles Davis and Dizzie Gillespie.
"That seemingly auspicious start to the trailer takes a turn after Davis tells Baker to "come back when you've lived a little." He follows Davis' advice, but it all serves to undermine his musical career.
The trailer eventually segues into Hawke singing Baker's famed take on "My Funny Valentine." Born to Be Blue hits theaters March 25th. Watch the trailer here.
However, one day, he was in the studio jamming, and the results were well worth his time. He played bass, Bruno Mars was on drums, and fellow producer Jeff Bhasker played synthesizer. And from that session came the smash hit "Uptown Funk."
"It was just kind of weird," Ronson told Radio.com "It was just one of those times that the jamming wasn't stupid." For Ronson, it was his first hit under his own name, although he's scored many as a producer for other artiists. "Songs that are way less known like 'Bang Bang Bang' or even 'Valerie' a DJ would play it, and that's kind of the level of success that I was content with." Read more here.
Bieber admitted that the two shared a very deep friendship. Baldwin is "someone I really love. We spend a lot of time together," he said. It sure sounds like it could be more than mere friendship, but Bieber insists he doesn't want to get involved with anyone seriously at the moment.
"I don't want to put anyone in a position where they feel like I'm only theirs, only to be hurt in the end," he explained. "Right now in my life, I don't want to be held down by anything. I already have a lot that I have to commit to. A lot of responsibilities. I don't want to feel like the girl I love is an added responsibility."
He continued, "I know that in the past I've hurt people and said things that I didn't mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I'm just more so looking at the future, making sure I'm not damaging them. What if Hailey ends up being the girl I'm gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it's always gonna be damaged. It's really hard to fix wounds like that. It's so hard.' I just don't want to hurt her." Read more here.
Stefani will create a live music video for the track which will air in a 4-minute commercial break during tonight's Grammy Awards broadcast on CBS.

Driven by electronic keyboard and saxophone, the Bieber cover gives Beliebers the elevator music of their dreams. "Elevator music" is not meant dismissively: The 1975 do their namesake decade proud with the intentionally corny instrumental approach to a pop hit. Plenty of contemporary artists have mined smooth jazz for its ironic, catchiness and easy listening value.
Recently the 1975 appeared on Saturday Night Live as they continue bringing their alt rock to the mainstream. Fans can watch their groovy Bieber cover here.
"I was at a point at the time after a year of just slugging it out on the road and going full speed that I was pretty tired," he told Sounds Like Nashville. "I was sort of desensitized to some of the really cool things that happened towards the end of the year because I was worn out.
"But as I got to go home and spend some time with my family and be in a more quiet place and really reflect on the year and the Grammys, that's when all the things that led up to being nominated for a Grammy started to sink in. I think I have appreciated it more and more since hearing the news."Read more here.
