Weeding through the musical crap and serving up interesting nuggets without an agenda....

About Me

Icon Music Presents is a promoter based out of Phoenix, Arizona whose primary mission is to bring top quality acts, most of which are under the radar of the mainstream to play live in the valley.While this is my primary mission, my secondary mission is to identify local musicians with talent and give them the opportunity to share the stage with nationally touring musicians. By doing so, I hope to add some legitimacy to some of the acts that have gone unnoticed and have been delegated to play open mics and start cover bands in order to get any kind of stage time in the valley.

My Interests

Music:

Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Tribe Called Quest, Ben Harper, Slightly Stoopid, Jack Johnson, Martin Sexton, O.A.R., Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, John Butler Trio, G Love & Special Sauce. Ray Lamontagne, Jurassic 5, Dispatch, & Bob Schneider but there is definately room for more.
