Monday May 14, 2012  Guest: ICM Agent Michelle Scarbrough
Are you one of those people who have always wondered about the inner workings of the big Hollywood Agencies? Even people who have agents think the whole profession is pretty mysterious. Come be enlightened with our guest this month...

Michelle Scarbrough was born and raised in Blair, Nebraska. While attending college in Florida, she booked her first band and put on her first concert. She realized the concert biz was her calling and she was on her way to becoming an agent.

Working her way up through band management and concert venue marketing, she made her way to LA and International Creative Management. She started at ICM as the 2nd assistant to the head of the Concerts Dept. Before long she was an agent herself and booking such diverse acts as Aretha Franklin, Beach Boys, Jay Leno, Alice in Chains, Kathy Griffin, Gym Class Heroes, Bob Saget, Jon Stewart and many more.

Michelle's niche now is in discovering and booking bands and comedians for ICM. But she's never left behind her roots in Nebraska, and she looks forward to sharing her story with you at the May Salon.

See you on Monday, May 14th at the Culver!

We meet in Nebraskan Harry Culver's old office on the 2nd Floor (go up the big staircase behind the bar).Doors open at 7:30 and the guest gets underway about 8. We adjourn to the bar around 10 or 10:30.


Salons are always on the Second Monday of every month.
