Upcoming tour dates for Deer Tick include a July 15 Twitch livestream at Brooklyn Steel and two sold-out shows at Ocean Mist in Wakefield, R.I., July 16-17. The band is also appearing at Newport Folk July 28. Reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice include a Dec. 29, 2019, show at Brooklyn Bowl in New York that sold 896 tickets and grossed $31,360.
Joe Greenwald, who worked the past eight years at C3, comes to Ten Atoms to oversee Radio and Promotion.
Olivia Harrington has been hired to oversee film, TV and brand partnerships. She joins from Red Light Management where she spent six years working as an artist manager.
Ten Atoms also welcomes artist manager Brendan O’Connell, who brings his client Neal Francis. O’Connell will also be working with Matteson on clients Nikki Lane, Sophia Boro and Buffalo Nichols, who are all new signings since the pandemic.
Neal Francis’ upcoming tour dates include an Aug. 1 appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago and a run of shows supporting Black Pumas including two nights at The Mission Ballroom in Denver Aug. 11-12. Francis previously supported Black Pumas in 2019, including two shows at The Independent in San Francisco Oct. 21-22 that sold 1,100 tickets and grossed $20,406, according to reports submitted to Pollstar‘s Boxoffice.

Walther and Greenwald will both be based in Austin, while Harrington is based in New York and Los Angeles and O’Connell is based in Chicago.
“I am thrilled to be working with Joe Greenwald and Lindsey Walther again,” Matteson told Pollstar. “We had so many good years together at C3. I truly believe they are the best in the business at promotion and marketing. It is also a great honor to have Olivia Harrington and Brendan O’Connell joining the Ten Atoms team. I’ve admired their work over the years and feel very fortunate to have such talented and thoughtful individuals working on behalf of our roster.”
