I'm pretty sure I've left some out, but I'll keep updating. Still, when I look at this list it blows my mind to think of all the great acts (truly some of my favorite bands) I've had the privilege to represent and/or book tours for over the years, even if just for a little while. These days I'm (still) hosting shows in Athens OH....and coordinating the Music & Recording Industry program at Hocking College. Interested bands/artists/agents get in touch if you're headed towards Ohio and need a show.
