THE SHOWCASE PROMOTIONS

​2010 - present

 

Showcase Promotions is a cutting-edge artistic booking and management company. We handpicked musicians then arrange, promote, direct, and produce a one night event with a celebrity panel of individuals from the music industry, much like the television show America’s Got Talent, where contestants battle for an opportunity to sign with a label or producer. This type of event helps musicians that probably would never have a chance to perform for the industry leaders, show their talent.  This world could use a few good dreams come true moments.  The Showcase Promotions introduces musicians to the "right" people, connecting them with holistic and forward-thinking management services to prepare for the next step.  www.theshowcasepromotions.com
