BOOKING AGENCY
In the beginning was a broad vision. A regional TV producer (Don Hunt), a photographer with an interest in music (Tony Morrow) and a musician with business sense (David Sestak) came together with a plan: to professionalize band representation and promotion in way not done before in the midst of a whole new music evolution brought on by the Woodstock generation. Thus, Media Five was born in August of 1970. That vision evolved from booking and promoting bands to include artist management and concert promotion featuring national acts.
This is only a partial selection of the bands Media Five booked that have been found to date. If you were in a band booked by Media Five in this decade and not listed below, please contact us at archive@mediafiveent.com.

Chameleon View Profile | Chameleon was originally a five piece founded by Tom Bluder, Steve Cruz, Tass Tilipos, Jack Krupicka, and Ed Willey.

A major blow to the band's early success was dealt as a result of several thousands of dollars worth of equipment being stolen from the band's van, leading to several personnel changes. |
