Remembering Gary Salzman

• Another gut-punch today — Gary Salzman, one of the founders of New York based music management firm Big Management, died Tuesday evening, March 31 due to complications battling COVID-19.

A message on Big Management’s Facebook page reads, in part, “We here at Big Management join Gary’s family, friends, and loved ones in this great loss. For those of you who knew Gary, we ask that you remember and celebrate his smile, hard work ethic, sense of humor, and big heart. We hope that in this tough time you are all able to remember Gary’s passion and love for not only the music industry but for each and every artist he’s worked with throughout his dedicated career.

“We hope everyone stays healthy and connected with your loved ones. We are all in this together and hope to represent Big Management while continuing Gary’s legacy. Gary has made such an impact on so many people’s lives and it’s hard to imagine a future without his big heart and smile.
