Pigue joins Emporium from Varnell Enterprises, where she handled marketing for tours for artists such as George Strait, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and many more. With more than two decades of relevant experience, Pigue most recently oversaw tour marketing efforts for country superstar Garth Brooks.

Samantha Hanson began her career in Denver booking and marketing bands, while also promoting local shows. After a stint at AEG working as an assistant talent buyer, Hanson relocated to Nashville where she collaborated with the Tin Roof brand’s entertainment team and helped to spin up a brand new local concert venue.
