It's hard to believe that its been nearly 15 years since I first got involved in the music business. I was in college at the University of Memphis, managing a rock band and putting together small benefits around Memphis trying to make a difference in the community. Little did I know that all these years later that it would eventually turn into my life's passion and work.Why the music business? Simple...music truly is the sound track of our lives. Everyone is able to go back in time and think of experiences they've had and be able to put a song to it. Whenever you actually HEAR THAT SONG your able to go back to the exact time and feel what you were feeling at that moment whether its memories of an old flame, experiences of high school and college, the loss of a loved one, or other situations you experience in life- I've decided to stay in the business all these years so I can be involved in people's lives...WHETHER ITS FINDING THEM THE PERFECT BAND OR SINGER for their wedding or high school prom, BEING A TALENT BUYER OR PRODUCING A GREAT CONCERT for a city or for a corporation,OR TRYING TO DISCOVER AND MANAGE THE NEXT GREAT MUSICAL ACT, the one that gives us those songs that make up our own individual soundtrack-HUTCH ENTERTAINMENT IS ABOUT USING EXPERIENCE, CREATIVITY, AND RESOURCES TO PROVIDE THE EXCELLENT SERVICE AND VALUE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUTSTANDING ENTERTAINMENT!

FAIRS AND FESTIVALS:
At HUTCH ENTERTAINMENT, WE LOVE BUYING TALENT FOR FAIRS AND FESTIVALS! WHY? Some of our best memories growing up was attending THE MID SOUTH FAIR in Memphis,TN. and getting to see acts such as JOHNNY CASH, KOOL AND THE GANG, AND AEROSMITH! One of my personal favorite memories of all is getting to see CHUCK BERRY, THE COASTERS, AND THE SHIRELLES WITH MY FATHER (who has since passed away). By having the right talent, you can truly create a special memory for your fair attendees!

CONCERT PROMOTION:
The success of any event comes down to great organization! It is vital to be able to analyze an event from concept to take down. OUR CONCERT PROMOTION side is not just about finding the right performer. It involves planning and handling every detail on the front end. We can handle POWER, STAGE PLACEMENT, SOUND AND LIGHTS,CATERING AND TRANSPORTATION, DECORATIONS (TO CREATE THAT SPECIAL ATMOSPHERE), WASTE DISPOSAL, HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS, EVENT STAFFING AND SECURITY etc. Over the years, HUTCH ENTERTAINMENT has learned how to manage all of these aspects-we work to have good working relationships with artists and their management, booking agencies, venue personnel, the media who will promote the concert, and any other individuals that can add to the success of a first class event!
ARTIST MANAGEMENT:
At HUTCH ENTERTAINMENT, we want to represent only THE BEST IN UPCOMING TALENT! We've worked to develop and execute a strategic production and marketing formula that will TAKE ARTISTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. The goal is to introduce and expose the rich and wide variety of Memphis and southern talent on a regional, national, and global scale. HUTCH ENTERTAINMENT will achieve this goal by using experience in MARKETING STRATEGIES, PROMOTIONS, CONCERT PRODUCTIONS, any other means to help get the ARTISTS HEARD!
