The Smartest People In The Room®
Larry Butler and Neal Spielberg
Larry Butler has worn just about every hat imaginable over his 50 year music career. Touring musician, tour manager, booking agent, artist manager, club owner, promoter, label exec, publisher, and performance coach. He's been there, done that and has all the t-shirts to prove it!
Neal Spielberg also has spent his entire work life in the entertainment business. From Feld Entertainment (Ringling Bros. Circus) to 20 years in the Warner system to running his own consultancy, Neal has forgotten more about the music business than most anyone could ever know.
