Drawing upon 30+ years of booking experience and relationships as well as a continuing familiarization with rising artists in all genres, Prescient Entertainment is uniquely positioned to manage all facets of talent acquisition on behalf of its clients. Clients that we have booked artists for in the past include many Northern California radio stations, including KFOG, Alice@97.3, Live 105, KFOX, and 107.7 The Bone; presenters such as Harmony Festival Inc Presents, venues including Brighthouse Networks Amphitheatre, and corporate and non-profit clients like Safeway, Wente Winery, and Milarepa Fund.
CONSULTING
While promoting thousands of shows over the years, we have also developed and operated several venues, as well as advised and supported countless organizations, ranging from municipalities to private developers to arts organizations to non-profits. All of this has given us a range of perspectives that benefit our clients.
ABOUT US
Prescient Entertainment was founded in 2011 by Lee Smith, a 30+ year Northern California concert industry veteran. In its first year, Prescient was awarded the exclusive concert promotion contract for The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, producing over 60 shows in the award-winning venue (perennially nominated for Best Small Venue at the annual Pollstar Awards). Since then, it has booked and produced the inaugural season at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA, developed and produced shows at the new SOMO Village Event Center in Rohnert Park, CA as well as booking and producing additional concerts in Northern California and consulting with other venues and presenters in the region.
Prior to starting this independent concert promotion company, Lee Smith was President and then Chairman of the Live Nation offices in San Francisco (formerly Bill Graham Presents) and Denver. The combined offices operated four amphitheatres including the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA and Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Concord, CA as well as the legendary Fillmore nightclubs in San Francisco and Denver, the previously mentioned The Mountain Winery, three comedy clubs, and the Warfield Theatre until a few years ago.
Prior to overseeing these offices, Smith served as SVP of Business Development and SVP of Booking at Bill Graham Presents when he was the principal booker and head of the Concert Division. He has booked thousands of shows, produced the first national Lollapalooza concourse activities in 1991, produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concerts in Golden Gate Park in 1996, was involved in the development of the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver and produced the Farm Aid concert in Seattle in 2004. He was also responsible for producing the annual Bridge School benefit concert with Neil and Pegi Young and has worked with Tom Waits, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and other performers on a myriad of benefit events.
