“I’m joining Marc to build out his vision of the SaveLive network to support independent music venues,” Prescher tells Billboard. “Over the last 25 years as an agent, I’ve worked closely with the independent community, and more so since the pandemic with the National Independent Talent Organization. Marc and I agree indie venues should have a safe guarded opportunity to grow their businesses.”
Prescher, who is a co-founder and vp of the National Independent Talent Organization, added, “We believe indies should have the options of a national network, without having to give up or alter their unique local brand or independent spirit. Our backgrounds will make sure the plan is very agent-friendly and artist-friendly, working across all genres.”
On a personal note, Prescher said that “like many people, I have admired and respected Marc for a long time. An opportunity to work with someone who has made such a significant impact on our industry would already be an attractive opportunity. But the ability to pair that with working with my long-term industry promoter friends, and a bunch of different independent venues, in the business I love, was too good to pass up. I’m incredibly excited and inspired. I will be in touch about the SaveLive launch.”
