I first started promoting shows at the Art Factory in 2001 with my band the Rupert Bomb. We threw shows till 2004 when the building was set to be demolished. We then went on to do house shows at "The Rupert Bomb House" at Wallen & Lima Rd. We were also running a recording studio and record label at the time called Burning Trash Records. After closing the studio and stopping the house shows in 2005
I moved onto doing shows at area bars like The Brass Rail, O'Sullivans and in the Tiger Room at CS3 or Welch's Ale House depending on what year we're talking. Grande Gigs became known for throwing some of the best punk rock shows in town. Eventually in 2019 I opened an all ages venue called the Muse On Main with my best bud Dylan Roldan. It quickly became known as a spot to see local bands play original music and see local art in the gallery, often times giving artists their first opportunity to showcase their talents. Through Covid we were able to see several bands & artists grow their fan bases and build their confidence in their skills and advance their talents to a wider audience in Fort Wayne and beyond. We are proud of what we accomplished as a business and for the local music & arts scene. We were recently given an opportunity to sell the building that houses the Muse On Main and decided to accept the offer. We will be closing the Muse at the end of September. Our last show at the Muse On Main will be on Sept. 17, 2022. After announcing the closure of the Muse, Piere's Entertainment Center has reached out to me to work with them at promoting shows into Stan's Room & the main room at Piere's. I am promoting my first shows in the venue in October. This could lead to a more expanded role at the venue soon. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements about future bookings. Besides promoting events, I am also available for band management, tour booking, band merchandising & more. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
