We are extremely excited to announce that our first Client Spotlight of 2019 is Bicoastal Productions in New York, New York.
Founded in 2008 by Ron Gartner, textile businessman with a singing career on the side, Bicoastal Productions is now considered one of the fastest growing, national entertainment booking agencies in the industry.
So how do you create a company which is a home for exceptional live entertainment and become that exceptional agent who creates and negotiates the deals that puts top talent into the top venues in town?
Ron, as Managing Partner, works alongside Principal Fran Heller, who acts as CMO and Agent. Fran had this to say, “We began in this business as neophytes. We knew no one. We knew nothing. I was working as a Creative Director for major national brands. We just believed in ourselves and our abilities to grow a business selling a product we both love and enjoy—live entertainment!”
Now, together with their team of regional agents across North America, they have perfected the art of matching the right talent to the right venue. They work with a wide range of diverse music and theatrical artists, Broadway stars, popular musicians, comedians, illusionists, dance productions, specialty and tribute acts. Both Ron and Fran have a keen eye for emerging talent as well as established artists, and represent Latin Legend, Jon Secada; Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Drifters; Bobby Rydell and other favorites like The Fifth Dimension, The Letterman, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and well known groups like The Association, The Platters, and The Stylistics. Just to name a few!
Their sister company, Bicoastal Events, goes beyond focusing on just the entertainment source and provides production services that will allow for the best possible experience and event outcomes. Bicoastal Events will assist with negotiating artist contracts, coordinating all transportation and hotel accommodations, as well as overseeing staging and production equipment. Need help with VIP meet and greets? Not a problem!
