I organize, stage and promote concerts at client venues and sponsor concerts/festivals. I served as the original operations director for Lancaster Roots and Blues for three years and am available for consulting/services related to staging events in the mid-Atlantic. I act as booking agent, tour manager and promoter for a growing list of client venues and over 200 bands. I watch and respond to social media to help bands find an audience and help venues sell tickets. I have a blog of my own and contribute to FigLancaster.com, TriStateIndie.com, RegionalMusician.com, and various travel and music publications. I travel to music venues and film bands in action then share the videos on YouTube. It gives people an opportunity to shop for bands and venues they may enjoy. The bands and venues are welcome to download the videos for their own promotion. I also write, film and produce show reviews and promotional materials for venues and artists.

I assisted owner Rich Ruoff in all facets of organizing and staging the first annual Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival Feb 21-22, 2014. Duties included booking, advertising, press releases, sponsor recruitment, promotion, staging, catering, hiring, transportation, logistics, sound systems, film production, troubleshooting and general oversight. It was a professionally rewarding accomplishment and a lot of fun. I served as Director of Operations for the first three Lancaster Roots and Blues Festivals: 2014, 2015 and 2016.
