Got this in the email this morning … congratulations to our friends at Pickin’ Productions for making the move to go national.
We’re merging with Quicksilver Productions!
Starting at the turn of the year, Pickin’ Productions will join forces with the wonderful Martha Dantzic and Quicksilver Productions. With our home base in Washington DC, we’re now able to seamlessly book our fine acts in great venues from coast to coast. I will be acting as the Western agent, while Martha will be the Queen of the East. But during this time of transition, Martha will be concentrating on building the infrastructure and I will be booking for all eight of our acts around the country. That’s why I’m writing today – it’s festival booking season! As well as concert series’ and all sorts of other good stuff. We’d like to share our newest bands, as well as highlight your old favorites from Pickin’. If any stand out to you, let us know and we’ll send you their latest CDs.
Thanks for all your support through the years. This is a big leap for both Martha and me. Our goal is to create an agency that stands out in the industry as high quality from end to end. We feel like we’re off to a good start, but please let us know any feedback, suggestions or thoughts you might have for us. We’re all ears.
