Metropolitan Talent is a diversified entertainment company currently involved in Artist Management, Concert Promotion and Recorded Music.

Our Concert Promotion company produces shows throughout the New York Metropolitan area, New Jersey, New York State and Connecticut with occasional forays across America and Canada promoting National Tours. We routinely promote shows at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, Radio City and Madison Square Garden. We have an exclusive booking arrangement with a very special venue, The Concert Hall (at the New York Ethical Culture Society), a room that we refer to as a secular cathedral with wonderful, live sound, and ambiance. Artists that have graced the stage at The Concert Hall include, Erasure, Billy Bragg, Brandi Carlisle, Marc Broussard, Shelby Lynn, The Cowboy Junkies, Kristofferson, Bruce Cockburn and many more . We also produce Broadway shows, in 2009, winning a TONY AWARD FOR our production of “LIZA’s at the Palace”, Liza Minnelli’s recent Broadway smash.

We manage the careers of legendary artists Art Garfunkel (co-managing Simon and Garfunkel with manager Jeff Kramer) thirteen time grammy nominee and three time winner Bruce Hornsby, and Little Feat (co-managed with long time associate Cameron Sears). We’ve recently added an extraordinary singer song writer, Dana Parish to our roster.

Hybrid Recordings is an independent label that we have developed over the last decade with which we explored a variety of deals 50/50, ‘360’ long before it became a vogue. Hybrid is distributed by SONY/RED. We directly control our digital distribution and it is ubiquitous. Our most recent release was the double CD set of “LIZA’s at the Palace”.

Our plans for growth include the acquisition and merging of CMJ into an exciting new venture which we believe leverages CMJ’s great brand and expertise with Metropolitan’s skill set of creating live events and managing artists. CMJ has recently moved into our offices. Our long term plan with CMJ includes the revitalization of Hybrid Recordings as a master and publishing rights artist cooperative with which we hope to address the diverse needs of artists careers.

We work in a great space at 100 Fifth Avenue at Fifteenth Street with a great staff and a host of long time friends with whom we cohabitate, manager Mark Spector who manages Joan Baez, Cowboy Junkies and Mary Gouchet, Paul Rappaport radio syndicator and consummate record man of Columbia Records fame (for over thirty years), George Gilbert music industry lawyer (and former promotion man), Indie Rock Label “French Kiss Recordings” LINK home to many great young acts “The Dodos”, “The Antlers”, “Passion Pit” and many others.
