Unlike movie or television producers, a concert producer is in the trenches. We’re more like a director on films and TV.

So what is it, we do exactly?
• First, we figure out what price act you can afford, and then when you’ve made your choice, we submit an offer to tempt a yes response, USING OUR VAST INDUSTRY CONTACTS AND KNOWLEDGE, and contract with the concert act.

• Next, we obtain the act’s concert rider, and start advancing the show. THIS TAKES A FRAME OF REFERENCE OBTAINED THROUGH YEARS OF WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY. This includes:
~ Getting Airfare and Hotels booked
~ Getting meals, hospitality pre-ordered and arranged
~ Any special permits, parking for buses, livery, limo & van pick up arrangements (once we got Naomi Judd’s doggie ok’d at Orlando Theme Park for an appearance)
~ Getting bids on and contracting with light and sound companies
~ finding and contracting for the backline (instrumentation, music stands, special flooring, whatever you see on stage)
~ Show schedule, from flight arrival, hotel pre-check in, day of show schedule (sound check, load it, show time, meet & greet, etc.)

• All these things must be approved as we go by the venue, the talent, the client. We work with all staff for all 3 entities.

• Day of show, if you have us there (and you SHOULD!), we process it! Anything that comes up, we handle it. Any problems, we solve them. IT’S SECOND NATURE TO US!

We are well established in the show business community and understand the art of the deal.  We have also networked with agents, managers, attorneys and celebrities themselves over the years and have made close and lasting friendships. Our above board policy has inspired trust and fair treatment within the entertainment industry.

The dinner is held first, then award ceremonies, and then the concert. The concert is generally 1 hour.   Sometimes a local dance band is hired for dance music afterwards, depending on the crowd.  Often, a “meet & greet” is arranged afterwards for major donors.

The best plan is to bring your golf celebrity in the night before.  Then usually the next day’s tournament begins with a shotgun start.  Each foursome plays a hole with the celebrity, and a photo is taken.  That evening often holds an award dinner and the celebrity stays as a guest.

Although every event is different, concerts (such as during a gala) usually bring in the most revenue.

UNDERWRITING!  Tartan Talent will send materials on how to get your celebrity and related costs underwritten.  All corporations allocate “X” number of dollars per calendar year to donate for tax purposes.  The corporations have THREE BIG REASONS to give some of that to you!  1. Tax write off.  2. Alignment with celebrity.  3. Marketing/advertising (signage, etc. at your event).  Use the request form to get your free info pack today!
