About Maria Porcaro

Personable professional with over fifteen years of experience in artist relations, management, and event production in live music and entertainment. I have worked with the world’s most dynamic artists as as, Assistant Tour Manager, Backstage Coordinator, and Production Coordinator.  My background includes facilitating and assisting in the creation of touring teams, building national festival’s A&R departments, and managing the growth and development of artists. I have experience as both a representative and as an integral member of a touring organization that make up the many components of an artist’s team. From building riders, to advancing, day of show executions with venue, coordinating last minute changes, to personally communicating the artist's wishes, I have performed and accomplished in each of these roles. A liaison for the artist, team, venue, and crew.
