Introducing AMPLIFY
• For many years, Circle of Fifths Music LLC was the original freestanding field staff in the music industry. These very familiar names and faces now make up AMPLIFY Entertainment Group. Looking to create a new level of synergy with their annual conference, The Gathering™, the former members of Circle of Fifths have launched AMPLIFY.
Tracy Brown is named President/CEO, backed by William Marion, who adds VP stripes to his existing duties as CFO and Regional Director of Promotion Northeast. VP of Promotion Drew Murray will oversee the staff and day-to-day promotion activities and Edie Lundeen is National Director of Alternative and Rock West Coast, partnering with Colleen Taylor, who joins the team as the National Director of Alternative and Rock, East Coast. Lida Galka continues as Regional Director of Promotion, West Coast and is joined by longtime, legendary veterans BeBop Hobel in the Southeast and Patti Martin in the South.
Brown commented, “As The Gathering™ continues to grow, we saw a need to marry our efforts and brand ourselves accordingly as new opportunities for The Gathering™ started to become reality. Both AMPLIFY and The Gathering™ are already fixtures in the Alternative community. We wanted to make the companies synonymous in people’s minds: Think of AMPLIFY and you think of The Gathering™.” Marion added, “It is my pleasure to continue to work with such talented people in the music business. The Gathering™ has opened up many new possibilities for our company and by forming AMPLIFY, our options are now unlimited!”
AMPLIFY is currently excited about AWOLNATION, breaking Alternative/indie group, The Aces, continuing their winning streak on Andreas Moss and shipping a hot new Ashanti single! The new AMPLIFY staff email addresses are firstname@amplifyeg.com.
