Title: The Bowery Presents Co-Heads Celebrate 20 Years of Helping Indie Stars Graduate from Clubs to Arenas
As the music industry continues to evolve and change, one constant has been the unwavering commitment of The Bowery Presents (TBP) co-heads Michael Harrison and Rod Morrissey. For the past two decades, they have been at the forefront of identifying and nurturing emerging talent, guiding them from intimate clubs to sold-out arenas.
“We’re proud to have played a small part in helping so many artists achieve their dreams,” says Harrison. “It’s an honor to be able to do what we love every day.”
In 2004, Harrison and Morrissey founded TBP with the goal of creating a platform that would give indie artists the opportunity to grow and develop their careers. Since then, they have successfully managed the rise of acts such as Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, and The National.
TBP’s commitment to its artists is unparalleled. They invest time and resources in every project, providing guidance, mentorship, and a deep understanding of the ever-changing industry landscape.
“When we started this company 20 years ago, it was about being more than just a booking agency,” explains Morrissey. “We wanted to build lasting relationships with our artists and help them navigate the complexities of the music business.”
This dedication has yielded numerous successes, including multiple Grammy nominations, platinum sales, and performances at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals.
As TBP looks ahead to its next chapter, Harrison emphasizes the importance of staying true to their artistic vision. “We’re not a factory churning out hits,” he stresses. “We’re committed to being a partner that truly understands the value of the art.”
TBP continues to break new ground by supporting a wide range of genres and styles, from punk rock to electronic music.
“We believe in the power of music to bring people together and transcend borders,” adds Morrissey. “Our goal is to empower creators to make the kind of music that inspires and uplifts humanity.”
In recognition of their tireless efforts, TBP will be celebrated with a special 20th-anniversary party later this year.
“We’re grateful for all our artists’ trust and loyalty over the years,” says Harrison. “This milestone is a testament to the incredible team we’ve built and the unwavering support from the entire music community.”
In an industry where so many factors are outside of one’s control, The Bowery Presents co-heads Michael Harrison and Rod Morrissey have demonstrated their ability to be proactive catalysts for change.
As they look back on two decades of dedication and passion, it’s clear that this dynamic duo will continue to play a vital role in shaping the music landscape of tomorrow.
