Eggman Global Embraces Michael Grimm – Assumes Full, 360 Management Relationship

Eggman Global Artists (“EGA”) is proud to cap 2012 by completing a ground-breaking, 360-relationship with national recording artist and award-winning singer-songwriter Michael Grimm, best known for his 2010 win of NBC’s hit show “America’s Got Talent.”  ”It was a meteoric year,” says EGA CEO and Co-founder Steve Eggleston, whom Grimm tapped as his personal manager in November 2011.  ”Our relationship grew across the board in a very short time.”  EGA progressively took  on responsibilities as International Artist Management (replacing global powerhouse Octagon Entertainment Company), booking agent (replacing CAA), label head, music publicist, marketing & social media (in lieu of Epic/Sony) and, most recently, business and financial affairs (assuming duties for Nashville-based O’Neil Hagaman, one of music rows most prestigious business and financial management/consulting firms).  ”Booking, branding, and licensing will be the goals for 2013, now that Mike has consolidated everything with us,” says Eggleston.  ”Mike is amazing, one of the world’s true triple threats – singer, songwriter, performer. When legendary music producer Don Was produced Mike’s Epic record, he said Mike ‘is one of the greatest voices I have ever had the pleasure to record.’  With every show I attend, I understand why Don said what he said. To me, there’s nothing like experiencing the magic of Michael Grimm music. That’s what it’s all about.” For more about Mike, see his EPK here: michaelgrimmmusic.com/EPK/.

The FAB Signs to Eggman Global Artists

One of Vegas’ finest performing bands, The FAB, have signed to management with Eggman Global Artists.   “The FAB may be the best Beatles band in the world.  I know that says a lot, but they are that good,” says Eggman Global CEO Steve Eggleston, ironically also known as The Eggman.   Pat Woodward formed The Fab in 1995.  Now, 17 years later, they are one of the longest running cover bands in Vegas, featuring five of Southern Nevada’s finest musicians.  With hundreds of Beatles songs in their repertoire, The FAB play every Beatles song ever recorded, play every Beatles album to perfection, and are known for NOT donning silly wigs or trying to look like a band that launched its meteoric rise to fame 50 years ago this year.  Rarely playing the same show twice, The FAB have performed spectacular special live productions of many of the Beatles albums “in their entirety” to sold-out crowds in Vegas and across the United States.  And for several years running, they’ve been voted Las Vegas’ “#1 Lounge Act” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal Reader’s Poll, registering a fan club in the thousands from all around the world.

Always looking for the right venue fit and residency, The FAB have played for many top Vegas venues, including but not limited to:

  • Stations Casinos
  • Boyd Properties
  • Mandalay Bay
  • Excalibur

Michael Grimm to play Jimmie Rodgers Festival in homage to Chris Ethridge and Jimmi Rodgers

Growing up poor in Mississippi, Michael listened to music. It’s one of the things we take for granted. Music, that is, is free on the radio, always has been. Also, his grandmother played the vinyl. One of his favorites was “The Flying Burrito Brothers,” for their fusion of rhythm & blues with country & rock — an approach not entirely unlike his own. A magical force, FBB Bassist Chris Ethridge died 4/25/12, but his contribution to music and life will not be forgotten. See Michael at this year’s festival in Meridian, Miss, Chris’ home town, as Michael plays in homage to Chris and Jimmie Rodgers, father of country music in whose memory the festival is held, GRTSs. Fest is May 19, 2012, at Dumont Plaza, Meridian, Miss. Stage time: 5:45 pm. For details and tickets, see meridianms.org/events.html.  For more on Jimmie Rodgers, see: jimmierodgers.com.
