BigTime Entertainment - History
Daniel Robertson and Ryan Kintz founded BigTime Entertainment in 2004 with the intent to fill a need they saw in their local music community. Their band, as well as many of their friends’ bands, was having a difficult time booking shows that were beneficial for their career and offered the opportunity they were looking for.
Since 2004, BigTime Entertainment has helped meet this need for over 5,000 bands (roughly 18,000 band members), and more than 170,000 fans have attended BigTime Entertainment events nationwide. It is BigTime Entertainment’s mission to help bands by producing fun, well-attended events where they can connect to their fans. Currently, BigTime Entertainment produces concerts in 10+ U.S. markets with an ever-growing staff of 40+ BigTime team members-all dedicated to fulfilling BigTime Entertainment’s mission. BigTime Entertainment also helps more than 30 all-ages venues to not only survive but also thrive-in an industry that has traditionally made it very difficult for local establishments to achieve longevity.
“No one would let our band play,” explains Daniel Robertson (co-founder) of BigTime Entertainment, “that was pretty much it.” Apparently the reasoning behind the creation of BigTime Entertainment was just that simple.”We knew that the next step for our band was to start playing real shows,” interjects Ryan Kintz (co-founder), “instead of just [playing] barbeques, school dances, and fundraisers. But no one who was booking shows around [our market] wanted to give us a chance.”
