Brittany Howard, Dave Matthews, Others Pay Tribute To REVERB
Over the course of their 20 years operating, REVERB has had a collection of artists and music industry professionals collaborating with them. From Billie Eilish to The Lumineers, from ODESZA to Dave Matthews Band, artists are proud of the work they are doing alongside the organization.
Dave Matthews, vocalist and guitarist of Dave Matthews Band and artist partner:
“We’ve been working with REVERB for almost two decades and they’ve been great partners to us across every tour – not only in how we’re continuing to find ways to reduce our footprint, but also in how our fans come together year after year to take action at our shows.”
Jamie Oborne, The 1975 manager, Dirty Hit & All on Red Management Founder:
“I trust REVERB implicitly to help us make great strides towards more sustainable touring. We have been partners for almost seven years now and I am so grateful to their staff for their incredible impact on what is a very wasteful sector of the industry. It has been one of the great highlights of The 1975’s touring that we have been able to pioneer a better, more future fit way of touring. There is much still to do but I am confident with REVERB’s guidance we can keep moving things forward. Their counsel and guidance has been instrumental in improving the way we tour from the big picture to the minutia, they truly are best in class and very much an essential part of our touring team.”
Brittany Howard, artist partner:
“The planet is heating up and we’ve got to do something about it. I grew up outside and love to spend my time outdoors. I want future generations to experience what I’ve experienced in nature. I work with REVERB because I want to not just make my tours more sustainable, but to advocate for climate action and create positive impacts for communities.”
Steve Berman, vice chairman, Interscope Capitol Labels Group:
“We’ve previously worked with REVERB on Billie Eilish and boygenius tours. This year we’ve deepened our relationship with the organization to ensure our annual Coachella party is maximizing sustainable practices. REVERB has made an enormous difference in our industry, and we applaud everything that Lauren, Adam and their team have been able to achieve.”
Kris “Red” Tanner, partner and head of sustainability, ticketing and commerce at Activist Artists Management:
“Collaborating with REVERB allows us to enhance the sustainability of touring by reducing the environmental footprint and promoting responsible practices. The partnership also helps us raise awareness of social causes that are important to the artists. This dual approach amplifies the impact of the tour by addressing both environmental and societal concerns while fostering meaningful engagement and advocacy within the fan community.”
Susan Mazo, EVP Global Corporate Social Responsibility, Events and Special Projects:
“Our relationship with REVERB is an important part of our sustainability initiative, enabling our work addressing environmental and social issues on the road, in the studio and in our communities. Together, we established the Amplifier Award to recognize and celebrate artists who take action and encourage more artists to use their platforms for positive change. The first recipients of this award were Billie Eilish and boygenius.”
Sarah Shanley Hope, The Solutions Project:
“We are so grateful for our growing partnership with REVERB as they adopt climate justice as a priority in their incredible work! We’ve delivered meaningful climate and philanthropic impact with their team and artist partners, directing more than $600,000 to community-led solutions like offgrid solar battery systems, regenerative agriculture, and wifi-enabled solar street lights in Highland Park, Michigan; the Navajo Nation; and Richmond, California, where grassroots groups at the front lines of the climate crisis are also at the forefront of innovation.”
Whitt Bell, Director of Partnerships & Events, HeadCount:
“HeadCount is so proud of our partnership with REVERB through the years. We’ve had the pleasure of working alongside REVERB reps on multiple tours across many years, including high-impact and enormously successful activations with Dave Matthews Band and at Participation Row on Dead & Company tour. REVERB continues to be a great partner both in the field and online, where we uplift successful fundraising campaigns for both of our organizations. True pros in the live event space and experts at driving action while being social connectors and great partners – HeadCount values the relationship and looks forward to having it continue for years to come!”
