For the better part of three decades, Sean Striegel has been a recognized leader in the live entertainment space.

Since Beginning his career in Southern California as an independent promoter, Sean Striegel has has been on the forefront of the ever-changing live music space. In 2000 jumping from Independent to a corporate structure, Sean Striegel joined the House of Blues organization (HOB) as the Talent Buyer for the Anaheim Venue. In his tenure at HOB, Sean and his team achieved Most Tickets.

Sold for a Club Venue as posted by Pollstar Magazine, and in 2005 Sean Striegel was awarded the Nightclub Talent Buyer of the Year award, recognizing him as the best Talent Buyer in the club space for the entire world.

Since then Sean has been nominated additional times. During Sean's time there, HOB Anaheim was the most profitable venue per square foot in the entire organization. Growing the music scene in Southern California, Sean Striegel began promoting shows outside of the club size scope and promoted shows in the Ballroom, Boutique, Large Theatres, as well as the Festival business. Eventually HOB was purchased by Live Nation, and Sean was elevated to the position of Director of Clubs and Theatres for Southern California.

2007 saw Sean relocating to New York with the promotion to Vice President of Music. In New York Sean oversaw the booking teams for not only club venues, but for the theaters, ballrooms and 3rd party venues. In New York, Sean began to expand on his role in his business, and was promoted to the position of Senior Vice President, and the Regional lead for talent for the Club and Theatre division. Within that position Sean was responsible for not only the bookings of shows, but running the business for the region. This included being responsible for the P&L of the entire region, business development, team leadership and development, coordination of all aspects of the business from booking to box office, marketing to sponsorship and all other factors to the concert business. On any typical year, Sean oversaw and was responsible for over 1,000 events annually. One area Sean excelled at was the creation and management of new business partnerships. These new partnerships were with new venues, public and private corporations, municipalities as well as private individuals. Known as someone who did as he said, Sean is well respected in the area.

Throughout his time in New York, Sean promoted shows at all levels from clubs and all size theaters, to both boutique and full-scale amphitheaters, large scale performance venues, theme parks, arenas, and in the festival space. There is nothing like booking a show at the “Worlds Most Famous Arena”, Madison Square Garden. "It’s just so iconic," Mr. Striegel has stated. In addition to individual show bookings, Sean began producing national tours for his company. These tours would not only prove to be extremely profitable, but created new business relationships that exist to this day. After more than 20 years with Live Nation, it was time for a change.

In 2022 Sean partnered with Mammoth Live to expand their business and increase their national profile opening Mammoth Northeast. In that same year, Sean joined the Cascade Music Collective, joining coworkers from his past as well as new relationships with well respected leaders in the entertainment space from the Pacific Northwest as the lead on Talent. Building upon the live music space, Sean will continue to grow business, create opportunities, and as Mr. Striegel himself would say, “Do some shows with our friends."
