Liz Gregory Celebrating
32 Years of Success It would be impossible for Liz Gregory not to choose a
career in the music industry. Music runs through her blood. Her Father and grandfather were both fiddle aficio- nados, with her father enthusiastically wowing audiences until he was 93! Along with her love of rodeo and familial country influ-
ences, Liz’s background in sales and marketing led her to open her concert promotion business in Portland, OR in 1983. In 1991 she opened her Nashville office, and, with increased demand,
opened her Idaho office in Post Falls, which later transferred to Belle- vue, WA. Along with talent booking and concert promotion, she has expanded into full service production. Liz has promoted talent ranging from local bands to National acts.
She has had a knack for finding the best young talent in America and developing them into major national & international acts. See ad for Gregory Talent on page 12.
