Experience:

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Jim Smith literally grew up at the Fillmore East and the Academy of Music. It was only natural that he would become actively involved in the New York concert scene, primarily with with Concert Service Specialists on Long Island, where he worked for more than 25 years with hundreds of artists. These days, he is President of Market Share Inc. & Brand Congruency, but spends much of his free time attending and reviewing rock concerts. He is actively involved with a number of charities, including the Rock & Wrap It Up Food Bank.

Jim Smith's Philosophy:

"Music does so much more than heal. It inspires, it provokes thought, it triggers emotions like very few stimuli can ... it's some powerful stuff."
