Our CEO Julie Colyer and our Director of Artist Relations Andrew Johnson began their careers at major recording labels where they learned how to identify and develop talent. Their early experiences in the music industry also taught them the gift of proactive problem solving, preparing them for the challenges that lay ahead in the events industry.

You experience everything that surrounds that person: the sound, the lights, the stage, the instruments and the many countless details that go into supporting a performance. That’s what Bill McComb does. He liaises with the venue, rents the instruments, books the technicians, schedules the transportation, coordinates the talent, checks the set list ­ and double-checks everything else. He’s there from the moment you sign on board until the last note of your event has faded away. His mission is to serve you and your event. It’s all part of our fee. Bill spent 27 years in the professional theater. He worked on- and off-Broadway, at the Metropolitan Opera, at Carnegie Hall, and toured the United States and the world.
