Our Team

Our Story

Rising Sun Presents is a family of entertainment and hospitality professionals based in the greater Philadelphia area. We provide booking, marketing, production, ticketing, and operational management services in any live event space: clubs, theaters, outdoor concert series, festivals and more. Our mission is to provide holistic event experiences with impeccable production value, intentional atmosphere, warm and detailed staff hospitality, thoughtfully curated food and beverage programs, artfully designed aesthetics, and excellent customer service that make each guest feel like they’re coming home.

Our collective grew out of ongoing collaborations between the teams at Ardmore Music Hall, Point Entertainment, and Bonfire Entertainment. Ardmore Music Hall has been our flagship venue since 2014, managed by a core leadership team that has overseen its rise from an upstart local club, into one of the most revered, independently-owned spaces to see live music on the east coast. We are proud to have become known as an oasis for thousands of performing artists and concertgoers.

Bringing that same spirit to our growing list of partner venues, we currently provide services and management support for Underground Arts and MilkBoy (Philadelphia, PA), 118 North (Wayne, PA), and The Colonial Theater (Phoenixville, PA), as well as our partner restaurants, The Ripplewood (Ardmore, PA), and The Refectory (Villanova, PA). We also produce a wide variety of outdoor events, concert series, and festivals across the region – including Manayunk’s Sing Us Home, Upper Merion Township’s Concerts Under the Stars, Bryn Mawr Twilight Concerts, Wayne Music Festival and Ardmore Rock N’ Ride, events that in total draw a combined 25,000+ attendees.

Our team draws experience from their time at The Blockley (Philadelphia, PA), The Point (Bryn Mawr, PA), Electric Factory Concerts (Philadelphia, PA), Philadelphia Folk Festival, CID Presents (Philadelphia, PA), Galactic Cat Audio, Live from the Lot (Ardmore, PA), The Trocadero (Philadelphia, PA), and touring work with artists including The Hooters, Snarky Puppy, Marco Benevento, and The Disco Biscuits.

At Rising Sun Presents, we believe that the world needs to come together now more than ever, and the way we will continue to participate in that is by providing meaningful experiences: through music and events, food and drink, and caring hospitality, to our ever-growing community.
