  • Make It Right Foundation
    5/12/12 Voodoo Music Experience Rehage Entertainment Tapped as Producers of “A Night to Make It Right” Benefit For Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation Rehage Entertainment (RE:), one of the nation’s leading independent live events company and creator of New Orleans’ acclaimed Voodoo Experience, will once again join forces with Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation by producing “A Night to Make It Right” fundraiser. The Saturday, March 10 New Orleans benefit gala will raise vital funds for the completion of 150 environmentally friendly homes in the city’s Lower Ninth Ward. In 2007, REHAGE ENTERTAINMENT produced The Pink House Project with Pitt and production designer Stefan Beese, a collaboration which resulted in a D&AD Yellow Pencil Award for Best Environmental Design/Installation. While working on the project, Beese fell in love with New Orleans and has since moved his family there where he and REHAGE ENTERTAINMENT founder and New Orleans native Stephen Rehage started the award-winning RE:BE Design firm. “A Night to Make It Right”, presented by Hyatt Regency New Orleans, will include political leaders, philanthropists, artists and entertainers. Ellen DeGeneres will host the event, which features a dinner celebrating the finest culinary traditions of New Orleans and performances by Rihanna, Sheryl Crow and local critically acclaimed artists The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Irvin Mayfield and Soul Rebels.

  • Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having
    Preview: Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having recently finished an enterprise feature for another publication on the glut of national music festivals and what role that glut creates for regional festivals with a lot more personality, I’m more excited this year for the Gathering of the Vibes than I have been in quite some time. As the man said, “He’d have to be one charming motherfuckin pig”…er, sorry, “Personality goes a long way.” Compared to the Roo- and Coachella-sized behemoths, and a lot of the sexy new kids with names both playful and official-sounding—Rothbury might be a bit of both, and allegedly, it was quite the time—the Vibes is a creakier, more elegant dinosaur. A glorious, humble triceratops of a festival, yes, secure in its size, pleasant in its modest ambition and its abilities, not ostentatious, and kindly manageable. And damn isn’t it great to have it back in New England proper (it returned in 2007 after several years of renovation to Bridgeport’s Seaside Park and a few years at various upstate New York locales)? For this born/bred New Englander, it’s not only in a New England/Tri-State area happy medium, but it fills a still-felt void left by the big Phish festivals of yore and especially the can’t-believe-it’s-been-five-years-now departed Berkshire Mountain Music Festival (1997-2003). (For Berkfest alums from those heady days, monsoon conditions and all, have a scoop of nostalgia on the house) The Vibes doesn’t have the gaudy cache of some festivals, or some of the nationally dazzling headliners.

  • Organization of a Large Scale Music Event: Planning and Production
    Organization of a large scale music event: planning and production Tatiana Caciur Thesis MUBBA 2012 Abstract 17.1.2012 MUBBA Author or authors Group or year of Tatiana Caciur entry 2008 Title of report Number of Organization of a large scale music event: planning and pages and production. appendices 54 + 4 Teacher/s or supervisor/s Heta-Liisa Malkavaara Live entertainment is currently one of the few vital components of the music industry as it struggles to survive in the XXI century and conform to the drastic changes on the music market. Music events occur in great amount on a daily basis and it is important to plan and produce them in the right manner in order to stay relevant and secure one‟s place on the market. This report introduces various crucial matters that require attention during event organization process, such as marketing and strategic planning, communication and promotion, risk management, event programming and capacity management, to name a few. The 5-phase project management model is applied as the base on which this thesis is built. The research is conducted by comparing the theoretical and practical approach used in the music event business. The practical approach is based on examinations and interviews with the world market leader in live entertainment – Live Nation. An additional analysis of practices used in other large and successful music events in Europe and USA is also conducted. As this thesis shows, the practical approach is often easier and less rigorous than the theory. Some of the steps in this process may be simply omitted due to being considered of little relevance by the management team, many other are outsourced to professional agencies depending on requirements (security, catering).
