Joy, Faye Webster, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Tedeschi Trucks Band, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, among many others.

“Our relationship with Bowery has evolved naturally over the last several years, beginning with individual events and expanding to venues,” said Jessica Gordon and Lucas Fritz, owners of Broadberry Entertainment Group. “It is exciting to partner with Bowery, who operates with an independent mindset and ready to embrace our creativity and ideas for the region. We are excited to learn and grow alongside some of the best event producers in the business today.”

The partnership will book events in theatres and larger venues throughout the Virginias, including Browns Island (6,500 capacity), Virginia Credit Union Live! (6,000 capacity), Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden (2,000 capacity), Dominion Energy Center (1,800 capacity), and Altria Theater (3,600 capacity) in Richmond; Chartway Arena (6,500 capacity), and Chrysler Hall (2,500 capacity) in Norfolk; Capital One Hall (1,500 capacity) in Tysons; Sandler Center for Performing Arts (1,300 capacity) in Virginia Beach; Marshall Health Network Arena (6,500 capacity) in Huntington, West Virginia, among many others. While the partnership does not extend to events at foundational venues including The National, The NorVa, The Broadberry or Richmond Music Hall, both partners will work on growth plans for artists following events in those venues as they set sights on the next performance in the Virginias.

“In promoting events in Virginia over the past three decades, I’ve been long impressed with the entrepreneurial passion and drive that Broadberry Entertainment Group has displayed in the market,” said Rick Mersel, vice president of The Bowery Presents in Virginia. “Jessica and Lucas’ vision, energy, market intelligence and relationships, paired with Bowery’s proven artist development and marketing strengths will prove to be an enormous benefit for artists and fans alike.”
