In this episode, I speak with Jonathan Shank, CEO of Terrapin Station Entertainment. Los Angeles-based Shank has firmly placed himself at the unconventional intersection of artist management (Victoria Justice, Scarypoolparty, Laura Marano), event production, immersive installations, talent development, and community enrichment. A music obsessive who has worked with everyone from the Bob Marley Estate to the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Shank is a recognized pioneer in bringing beloved intellectual property to the live stage, with productions such as Disney Junior Dance Party On Tour, Peppa Pig Live!, and The Fresh Beat Band Live generating more than $80 million in gross box office sales. As part of his extensive work with Mickey Hart, he also earned a Grammy Award in 2009 for his role in creating the groundbreaking album Global Drum Project. In 2020, he received the T.J. Martell Trailblazer Award for his work producing such charity events as The Homeward Bound Concert and A Tribute to the Music of Linda Ronstadt.https://terrapinent.com/
