About Me

I am not a band. I'm a local concert promoter in Lakeland Florida.
Sometimes I book shows, usually I just promote other shows in the area. If you have a show and you would like me to help promote it, please email me the flyer image (clean images only, not too big), a list of all the bands playing (not just your band's name), the venue's name & address, time & ticket price, & all other info (all ages/18 & up). And please send it to me with a few weeks notice because sometimes it takes me a few days to update this page, and also it's kinda stupid to only promote a day or two before the show.
The shows that I book are always all ages and always positive events. I do not book shows in venues that serve alcohol and I do not work with bar cover bands. Please original bands only. Most of my shows are charity events to draw awarness to different organizations.
Over the summer of 2005 (and with help from a few great freinds) I booked shows and ran all the concerts at MB3 (Carpenter's Home Church). I also booked shows at The Polk Museum of Art, Tuesday Music Club, Black & Brew Coffee House, the Polk Theatre, the Mad Hatter (all in Downtown Lakeland) and several different churches across Polk County and the Central Florida area.
If you need help promoting or are interested in doing any shows, please email me at [email protected] or through myspace. Thank you.
The posters and show listings on this page are usually not booked by me, infact I had very little, almost nothing to do with them except helping with promotion. So please don't ask me to add your band to the show. I can't do it.
