House of Blues Entertainment Buyer Tommy Ginoza, who had been
responsible for booking HOB Chicago and Cleveland, will now
focus on Midwest amphitheaters and arenas. While continuing
to work out of the Chicago office, he will also work on the
new festival being developed with the city of St. Paul at
Harriet Island scheduled for late June 23 & 24.
"Tommy and his teams in both Chicago and Cleveland did an
outstanding job this past year bringing some of the best
concerts of 2011 to our House of Blues venues in this part of
the country," said Dan Kemer Vice President HOBE Midwest
said. "We'll miss his energy and enthusiasm.
Replacing Tommy as Lead Talent Buyer for House of Blues
Chicago is Sean McDonough who has over a decade of experience
in Chicago market, most recently serving as talent buyer for
the Bottom Lounge.
He also spent 14 years booking the Metro before securing
talent at the legendary Irving Theatre and
Gramercy Theatre in New York City for Live Nation.
Kemer said, "In addition to buying for House of Blues
Chicago, Sean brings the Bottom Lounge to our roster adding
another top tier venue to our portfolio of 38 clubs and
theatres. He's a great talent that is going to help us
continue to fuel our growth at these amazing venues."
Mary Clare Bourjaily and Shawn Cikanek will continue in their
roles as the lead buyers for their respective venues
(Bogart's Cincinnati and Pageant St. Louis), assisting with
House of Blues Chicago and adding
