I agree with you that those types of statements aren't
appropriate, and I'm always irritated when I read them. I
think the reason is that I think one should try to preserve
the impression that the program bio was written by the
presenter of the concert about the artists, with the
intention of informing the audience. Plus, I don't really
care what the performers think of the creative team, or who
they're thanking for their success. It sounds like "sucking
up". (Like anyone's really going to write in a program bio:
"This was the worst experience of my creative life, stay
away from this guy.")
