TEMPE, AZ (CelebrityAccess) — Tom LaPenna’s Lucky Man Concerts announced the addition of industry veteran Jesse Morreale as Executive Vice President of Talent & Venues.
In his new role, Morreale will take point on bookings for venues of all capacity levels with a focus on arenas and other larger venues. He will also onboard oversight of LMC’s growth strategy related to venue and market development and expansion.
Morreale will split his time between Arizona and Colorado, which will allow him to perform his responsibilities for LMC while continuing to work on other projects in his pipeline, independent to LMC.
“Between his years as a concert promoter and venue developer, and his more recent experience developing more complicated and ambitious real estate projects, Jesse has acquired a unique set of skills that I believe will be invaluable to our company’s plans,” says LaPenna. “I believe Jesse’s experience and relationships will lead to him being an immediate, integral part of both our booking and venue operations, and I look forward to seeing how swiftly we are able to see results in booking and venue expansion.”
“I have been and continue to be excited about the growing, changing foundations of the touring business, and I look forward to re-engaging regularly with the amazing community of agents, managers, and others who are a part of it,” says Morreale. “I have always believed in the value and opportunity that Tom’s company represents, and I look forward to taking on the challenge of overseeing these booking and growth initiatives. Ultimately, I hope I am able to contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for this vibrant and progressive company, and to contribute something along the way to the communities in which we operate.”
