The role of the artist manager has changed tremendously over the past 5 to 10 years. Now more so than ever, the manager needs to be more than just a decision maker, he also needs to be able to sit in the seat of the record label exec, publicist, and even know the inner workings of the booking agent, and concert promoter.

Enter Chuck Thompson. With 35+ years experience, and having worked with such industry legends including: David Allen Coe, Ricky Skaggs, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Judds, Billy Dean, The Pirates of the Mississippi, Carl Perkins, Wynonna, Kenny Chesney, and Lonestar (just to name a few), Chuck brings his history of running a record label, public relations firm, and management company to the table to share what an artist should look for in today's manager.
