Fedrizzi, who will continue to be based out of Denver, will
guide the company’s 100 U.S. venues — including the 50 owned and
operated clubs and theatres in the AEG Presents portfolio — in all
aspects of talent buying and promotion, as well as overseeing its
12 regional offices. He will report to AEG Presents Chairman and
CEO Jay Marciano and will be joining the company’s Executive
Committee.
“I’ve known Brent for close to 30 years and have worked with him
almost as long, so it’s especially gratifying to make this
announcement,” commented Marciano. “He has a vision, a drive, and
an insight into our business that’s been forged over his many years
promoting events in every type of venue across the western United
States. As Co-President of our Rocky Mountain region, his feel for
the business is a key reason AEG Presents is the dominant promoter
in the market and the Denver office is one of our top performers.
Simply put, he’s the right person for the job.”
Said Fedrizzi: “When Jay and I first spoke about this
opportunity, I jumped at the chance to work more closely with him,
the regional team, and the company as a whole. I’m excited for the
challenge ahead, and I can’t wait to dive in; there’s never been a
more exhilarating time in live events. I’m grateful for the trust
Jay has put in me to guide the business into the future; the
ability to do so with the people and the company I love is icing on
the cake.”
A Colorado native, Fedrizzi began his career in 1991 at the Fey
Concert Company in Denver, booking artists at various venues across
the Rockies and the Southwest. In 1998, he joined forces with Chuck
Morris and Don Strasburg to launch Bill Graham Presents/Chuck
Morris Presents in the market. Through a series of acquisitions
including SFX and Clear Channel Entertainment, that company would
eventually become Live Nation in 2005. Fedrizzi remained there for
9 years before leaving with Morris and Strasburg to join AEG Live
as COO of the Rocky Mountain region. They quickly established
themselves as the dominant force in one of the most competitive and
active live music markets in the country and now promote more than
1,100 events annually at a variety of venues including Mission
Ballroom, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre, and
Ball Arena, among many others.
In addition to his work at AEG Presents, Fedrizzi is a board
member and four-time president of the North American Concert
Promoters Association, a four-time Academy of Country Music award
nominee, and a nominee for International Entertainment Buyers
Association’s Promoter of the Year. He currently serves as Chairman
of the Board for “Visit Denver” and sits on the board of the
Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
