REBECCA THOMAS

As a native of a small town in Eastern North Carolina, Rebecca couldn’t wait to trade her beach towels for hiking boots and head out West after college. Four days after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, she packed up all of her belongings and drove to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The laid-back lifestyle, diverse music scene, incredible hiking and world class skiing were just a few of the many reasons that what was meant to be “a few months off” after school turned into a 5 year love affair with mountain living.

After returning to her NC roots, Rebecca knew she had to work in the music industry. She spent 4 years working as the Sales Manager for one of the most well respected music venues in the Triangle – a 7,000 seat outdoor amphitheater. One of the many highlights of this job included getting to meet Robert Plant and watching the crowd come to life for some of the greats like Greg Allman, the Alabama Shakes, Sturgill Simpson, Merle Haggard, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson and so many more.

Whether it’s a small party, a huge festival or your dream wedding – Rebecca loves nothing more than bringing incredible musicians to music lovers.
