ORLANDO – With the live event industry's most anticipated event just weeks away, the Parnelli Board of Advisors announces the presenters of this year's awards. "We're pleased to have such a star-studded group be part of the show," says FOH publisher and Parnelli Awards executive producer Terry Lowe. "With former Turtles members Flo & Eddie also presenting some awards in addition to handling Masters of Ceremonies' duties, it'll be a great, entertaining evening."
Founder of Tait Towers and Parnelli Visionary Honoree Michael Tait will present, as will 2004 Parnelli LD of the Year, Peter Morse. Previous Parnelli winners Seth Jackson and Elizabeth O'Keefe are also part of the event that is considered the "Oscars of the Live Event Industry."
On hand to honor their longtime colleagues receiving lifetime achievement awards are Stefan Graf, Dave Robb, and Hank McHugh. Graf was partners with Visionary Honoree Jim Fackert in the early 1970s, and Robb was one of Audio Innovator Honoree's Kenton Forysthe's first customers. McHugh, currently production manager with the Dave Matthews Band, has known Parnelli Lifetime Achievement Honoree Ed Wannebo since 1982 when they worked together on Hall & Oates.
Additionally Parnelli Awards executive director Patrick Stansfield will be presenting, as will PLSN editor Justin Lang and FOH editor Mark Frink.
The Parnelli Awards has sold out the last three years, and is on track to do so again this year. To reserve your seat today, go to www.parnelliawards.com/reservations.
