Industry News: Problem Resolution or Production Resolution? A Case Study

Direction, control, supervision; these are the three concepts we subscribe to when on-site at “command central”.  Three words for three teams: your client, your client’s attendees, and your own staff.  The vibe in the room must always be “read” for what is working, and maybe more importantly, what is not working.  Your client must trust you to monitor and make decisions as many “corrections” may be necessary.  We believe this approach to managing events has a proven track record for consistent customer satisfaction.

Featured Act: Linwood Peel's Tribute to the Drifters

Linwood Peel has been the leader of The Drifters and The Elsbeary Hobbs Drifters since the 1991-1992 season. Due to a court ruling Fall 2007, the name The Drifters can no longer be used. Now MSP has seized this opportunity to commemorate and bring you the exact same show, uniting Linwood and his former group members as Linwood Peel's Tribute To The Drifters.

With their format of Classic Rock, Classic R&B, Oldies, Pop, Male, '50s, '60s and '70s, much of the great material is still known, sung and covered worldwide; including some of The Drifters' Million Sellers: "On Broadway," "Under the Boardwalk," "There Goes My Baby," "This Magic Moment," "Save the Last Dance For Me," "Up On The Roof," and "Dance With Me."
