Tommy Merrill(II)
- Producer
As senior talent buyer for New York City's Rockwood Music Hall for nearly a decade, Tommy Merrill successfully worked to develop the ethos, reputation, and brand of the now famed and iconic venue. As the fledgling club grew into a celebrated national concert hall -- and while personally booking over 35,000 shows at the venue during that time -- Merrill's own reputation with emerging artists flourished. A reputation of passionate belief in music makers, of hard work, high standards, and consistent results in advancing artists to the next levels of their careers.
Today, that cemented reputation is the cornerstone of Merrill Artists, Merrill's international boutique booking agency, and The MK Group's own ethos. Following three groundbreaking years as both president of The Press House's artist development division, and as a central figurine the national grassroots #irespectmusic movement, Merrill has taken his ethos to Capitol Hill repeatedly, meeting with leading members of Congress to push for reform and legislation on behalf of music makers.
Merrill continues to serve as Marshall Arts USA chief talent developer (as he has since 2015), working with their roster on a global scale. Merrill, alongside the world-class team at Marshall Arts, has been and continues to be privileged to work with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, P!NK, Lionel Richie, Herbie Hancock, Sir Elton John, Cher, and many others.
