Emporium Goes South

The new office gives Emporium partners Jason Zink and Dan Steinberg a stronger presence in the Southeast. Coder will continue to promote shows in the Birmingham market, while looking to expand beyond. Coder is the in-house talent buyer at the recently restored Avondale Brewing Company.

He’s also been the talent buyer for WorkPlay Theatre and SoundStage for the last decade.

“I’ve been a fan of Dan and Jason’s for quite some time,” Coder said in the Nov. 15 announcement. “Professionally and personally, I can’t think of a better fit, and I am beyond excited to get to work. Timing is everything in this business, and the timing here could not be better.”

Coder brings with him assistant Emily Haslett. “We think a lot of Todd and are excited about the experience and relationships he brings to our team. He shares our mission of doing right by the artists we work with in the most ridiculous manner possible,” Zink said.

“We’ve known Todd for years and have always thought he was super knowledgeable about this crazy industry; and he is a hell of a guy to sip some bourbon with. I’m pumped to get to do that with him as part of the Emporium team,” Steinberg added.

Coder can be reached at (205) 379-0025 and todd@emporiumpresents.com.

The addition brings the number of Emporium Presents offices to four, including those in Denver, Seattle and Nashville.
