DAN MANN

When constructing a professional CV, it’s always good to let the reader know how long one has been working in a particular field. In Dan’s case, let’s just say his hair was dark brown when he arrived in Nashville with a roster of no-name artists and writers to begin his career. Within two short years, he was booking dates for Glen Campbell, The Gaither Vocal Band and other top acts. With the same blind tenacity, Dan launched a record label and publishing company, taking the label from high concept to award-winning product on shelves in seven months. He also published two nationally distributed magazines, was an artist manager for future Grammy winners, and produced weekly public service television shows for two markets on the ION Television Network. Further, he booked the speaking/book tour for the author of The Shack, one of the most internationally successful books in history. Dan is a published writer and an international public speaker, having been asked to speak in Rome for an ecumenical summit. In 2008 Dan returned to full time agency work, and now books award-winning talent into Performing Arts Centers, with symphonies and at fairs and festivals.

Let’s talk.

RANDA BLACKMON

Randa Blackmon loves music. She loves being entertained. While working in various marketing ad sales positions in the last 20 years, she took time to volunteer at some of her favorite venues in North Florida and to offer scheduling services to the Opry House in Hank Williams Sr.’s hometown of Georgiana, AL. In addition to those tasks, she was elected Vice President of the Brewton Council of the Arts in Brewton, AL, where she serves on various committees including the Program Planning Committee.

She’s now crossed that great divide between programming and agency work. Randa’s territories will include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mississippi.
