Intro: Broadcasting live from the greater perimeter. It’s time for Greater Perimeter Chamber Ppotlight. Now, here’s your host.
Lee Kantor: Lee Kantor here. Broadcasting live from the Greater Perimeter Chamber inaugural annual meeting. So excited to be talking to my next guest, Stephen Moore. And he is with RCS Productions. Welcome.
Stephen Moore: Thank you. Thanks for your interest. Thanks for being here.
Lee Kantor: Well, I am so excited to be talking to you. But first I got to ask you, why are you for the Greater Perimeter Chamber?
Stephen Moore: So I live in Sandy Springs and the office is in Dunwoody and was a member of the perimeter chamber, which was the Dunwoody arm, and they asked me to be on the board and then got, uh, got roped into Project Unity, which was a really cool project over the last year and a half, two years, bringing the Sandy Springs perimeter chamber and the perimeter chamber together. And, uh, here we are, our first inaugural, uh, luncheon.
Lee Kantor: Well, tell us then a little bit about RCS. How are you serving, folks?
Stephen Moore: So pretty cool company. So we are in the live event space. So we book, which is kind of a fancy way of saying talent acquisition. So we go out and find bands, book bands, whether they’re local, regional or national acts. And we pretty much produce everything we book. So we’re using RCS is known for going outside, so we do a lot of the community concert series, a lot in the southeast, but a lot around the metro area, including the outdoor series at Sandy Springs. So we do the City Green Live and also the Heritage Series in Sandy Springs, as well as their July 4th um and blue Stone Music and Arts Festival, which is a new event. We’re in our third year this year for 2025, as well as their sparkle, and then we do a lot of that throughout the southeast, a lot of communities, everything, I guess in the in the greater metro area, everything from Villa Rica all the way up to Buford, down to Peachtree City and up into Woodstock.
Lee Kantor: So what’s your backstory? How’d you get involved in this line of work?
Stephen Moore: I got roped into it in college at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Somebody asked me to be on the student Activities Board, and I think the first week I caught the concert bug, we did Tina Turner, Rod Stewart and George Thorogood with All Within, All within a week. And I’m like, this is pretty cool. Can I do this for a living? Yeah. So here we are.
Lee Kantor: Wow, that was a great start for you. So, um, who’s your ideal client? Like, do you work with municipalities or you work with who hires you? Yeah, a.
Stephen Moore: Lot of municipalities. You know, we’ve got a pretty good reputation with city managers. You know, we spend public money very wisely and sort of navigate, you know, what their vision is for, you know, outdoor concerts, placemaking. You know, you know, a lot of times these things are obviously they’re about the bands and the energy, but it’s also about bringing community families together and they can celebrate, you know, on the city lawn or the city amphitheater or the city parks or street parties, things like that. So municipalities obviously is sort of our, our niche, but we do a lot of, you know, like the Atlanta Botanical Garden, things like that. So, so entities that don’t have buyers year round, like, you know, like a Live Nation owns a lot of the building, a lot of the venues and towns. So they have their own, you know, they have their own internal buyers. But people like Stone Mountain Park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, other entities like that, you know, that don’t necessarily need a year round talent buyer or producer. They will they will hire RCS productions to sort of do their seasonal.
Lee Kantor: Do they come to you and say, I want these bands, or do you help kind of curate, like, what’s the appropriate or who can I get in that window of time? Like, like, how does that work?
Stephen Moore: Yeah. The talent buying, especially in Atlanta, is.
Lee Kantor: Probably pretty competitive.
Stephen Moore: It’s very competitive, especially for the national acts. And folks have no idea, you know, for us to land an act for, say, the city of Woodstock and National Act or City of Peachtree City. Uh, a lot of times it will take 2 or 3 offers to just to land one band because they have, you know, relevant artists, people that, uh, that people want to see. You know, they have six, seven, eight, nine, ten offers to play Atlanta, and they’ll generally only play it once a year. Sometimes we can get them to play it twice a year.
