Born and raised in Philly and crash-landed in Charleston, John STYLES & DYNAMICS and Kevin Shields are the minds behind the quirky indie hip- Release: October 12, 2018 hop group Little Stranger. Performing as a duo, Little Stranger SELF-RELEASE is a fresh hybrid of John’s singer-songwriter magnetism and Kevin’s hard hitting, in-your-face delivery, earning them the title of “Hip Hop’s Simon and Garfunkel.” Stylistically reminiscent of 1. Won’t Amount to Nothin’ (03:29) Gorillaz and Twenty One Pilots, Little Stranger inhabits a rela- tively unexplored niche at this point in time. They’re all about 2. 1969 (03:13) originality, every song is a separate work unto itself with all the 3. Agustina (03:33) strangeness that their name implies. 4. Bringin Me Back (03:37) Their latest release, “Styles & Dynamics,” showcases the 5. Every Woman (04:24) duo’s ability to cross genres, effortlessly blending hip-hop with elements of pop, reggae and indie rock. The 6 track EP moves 6. Sing It High (4:07) seamlessly from upbeat love songs to dark, yet playful, rap tracks that will satisfy even the slightest hip-hop fan. PRESS “I can guarantee that Little Stranger has it going on! The infectious melody and throbbing rhythm demand you listen and move to the music, and the vocal delivery and harmonies suffuse the tune with brilliant tim- bres full of texture.” - Randy Radic // Huffinton Post “Little Stranger uses hip-hop beats as a foundation for a kaleidoscopic array of sounds. Channeling everyone from the Gorillaz to Beck to the Beta Band, the duo layers disembodied vocal samples, laid-back synth pop, Coldplay- style wide-screen grandeur, and, yes, the occasional blast of swaggering rap over tight, funky beats.” - Vincent Harris // Charleston City Paper RELATED ARTISTS BOOKING Gorillaz // Beck // Twenty One Pilots // G.

Cirque Du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE
Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE Case Study Lightware Visual Engineering 1 Peterdy 15, Budapest H-1071, Hungary +36 1 255 3800 [email protected] www.lightware.com Cirque du Soleil – Michael Jackson ONE Market Country Rental & Staging USA Lightware Equipment Used in Project 1 - Lightware MX-FR65R frame 41 - Lightware fiber receivers 3 - Lightware fiber transmitters “I’m a perfectionist; it’s part of who I am,” Michael Jackson is purported to have said. Given the quality of his work and his reputation for high standards, the expectations for a show revolving around Michael Jackson will always be exceedingly high. Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, produced in conjunction with Jackson’s estate, aspires to meet the level of perfection the star would demand. The show, which combines Jackson’s music with Cirque’s distinctive acrobatic feats, is at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas in a space that was formerly occupied by a production of The Lion King; it was completely renovated specifically for MJ ONE. CDS anchored a team that included Auerbach Pollock Friedlander, Moser Architecture Studio, and Jaffe Holden Acoustics for the design and specification of the rigging and automation, lighting control, and audio-video systems. The show’s story line was written by choreographer Jamie King, who danced in Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour. The musical director, Kevin Antunes (New Kids on the Block, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Britney Spears, ‘N Sync, Justin Timberlake), made his selections from “Michael’s entire treasure vault” and remixed it specifically for the show.

2015 Nielsen Music U.S. Report
2015 NIELSEN MUSIC U.S. REPORT 2015 NIELSEN MUSIC U.S. REPORT Copyright © 2016 The Nielsen Company 1 WELCOME ERIN CRAWFORD SVP ENTERTAINMENT & GM MUSIC Welcome to Nielsen’s annual Year End Music Report, a summary of consumption trends and consumer insights for 2015. Going into the year, we had recently modernized the industry measuring stick - the Billboard 200 chart - to include track downloads and streamed songs in addition to traditional album sales. The new chart reflected how fans now consume music, and in 2015 they were consuming more than ever. Total consumption, including sales, streams and track downloads, was up, fueled by the continued surge of streaming, which nearly doubled last year. And yet the biggest music consumption story of the year was not even available on streaming services. We were awed by Adele’s record-crushing 25. We monitored daily activity across sales, streaming, airplay and social, and were thrilled to report on every new milestone she achieved, incredible by any measuring stick. We also “listened” to over 500,000 music consumers in 2015. We learned about their consumption behaviors and preferences. We learned about their social activity – how they engage with their favorite artists, and how they use it to follow festivals and discover new music. And importantly, we also showed brands the power and value of music fans; how to reach them, and how to connect with them. As advocates for the business of music, we are passionate about delivering the most valuable, actionable, insights into music fans - and believe that smart data can inform creativity.

The Best Songs, Records, and Bands Transport You Back to the First Moment You Heard Them Each and Every Time They Play
The best songs, records, and bands transport you back to the first moment you heard them each and every time they play. Whether you caught a house party gig after Better Than Ezra formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University, heard “Good” on the radio once it hit #1 during 1995, became a fan following Taylor Swift’s famous cover of “Breathless” in 2010, or saw them headlining sheds in 2018, you most likely never forgot that initial introduction to the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals, guitar, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass, backing vocals]. Those hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics quietly cemented the group as an enduring force in rock music. How many acts can boast being the inspiration of a classic Saturday Night Live skit? Very few. Speaking of incredible accomplishments, they occupy rarified air with spots on Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” as of 2018. Additionally, 2018 also marked 25 years since the arrival of the breakthrough album Deluxe. Maintaining a steady pace forward, the new single “GRATEFUL” garnered acclaim from Billboard who praised its “highly commercial, anthemic sheen that certainly pairs nicely with the approach of Deluxe.” The story of Better Than Ezra began before the nineties explosion they remain so often associated with ever even happened. Griffin and Drummond comprised the core of the band at its onset as they hit the road and won over one fan at a time beginning in 1989. This fan base would go on to be known as “Ezralites” by the time the first pressing of Deluxe landed independently in 1993.
