VenuWorks Launches Booking Agency
– VenuWorks has launched a new boutique booking agency division, based out of company headquarters in Ames, Iowa, with offices in New York. The VenuWorks Agency will create and develop touring strategies for its artists and will work with venues, promoters, festivals and state fairs around the country.
The principal agents behind the company are VenuWorks founder/CEO Steve Peters, Emmy-nominated producer and Riverdance star Michael Londra, and marketing and public television specialist Jean Clancy.
The acts represented by the agency include Irish singing star Nathan Carter and Chloë Agnew, an original member of Celtic Woman, touring the world for nearly a decade as the group’s youngest soloist before setting out on her own career. The new agency’s varied roster includes music acts to musical theatre and dance. VenuWorks Agency intends to introduce its artists at upcoming conferences in North America such as Arts Midwest, South Arts, PAE, APAP and IEBA for the 2020/21 season.
Peters is founder and CEO of VenuWorks, a venue management company that runs more than 50 theatres, arenas and convention centers in the U.S. including U.S. Cellular Arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Ford Center in Evansville, Ind., and Swiftel Center in Brookings, S.D. It was formerly known as Compass Facility Management.
