Renowned Artist Gary Morris Inks Joint Booking Deal With High Performance Entertainment and Alkahest Artists & Attractions
Gary Morris, renowned singer, songwriter and Broadway actor, has signed a joint booking deal with High Performance Entertainment and Alkahest Artists & Attractions. David Kiswiney’s Nashville-based High Performance Entertainment agency will handle fairs, festivals, casinos and corporate bookings for Morris, while Alkahest Artists & Attractions, under the direction of President Elizabeth Bridges, will oversee theatres, performing arts centers and international bookings.
“There is a depth to Gary’s performance that speaks to today’s audiences,” Bridges said. “Always true to his music, loyal to his friends and fans, his command of an audience by way of talent and charm – and that amazing voice – makes for a special concert experience. We are honored to be working with Gary.”
“Adding the tremendously talented Gary Morris to the roster of High Performance Entertainment is a foundational building block for our new company,” said David Kiswiney, president. “We’re thrilled he’s on board.”
“I’m launching this next chapter of my career with two seasoned professionals I can trust. I have the best of both worlds with David and Elizabeth,” Morris said. “As a result of our collaboration, and Pam Lewis making it happen, I’m going to get to continue to share my heart and my music with audiences around the country and the world.”
Morris is best known for his golden voice, featured on such hits as “Wind Beneath My Wings,” and “Why Lady Why,” and for his epic role of Jean Valjean in Broadway’s “Les Misérables.” His recent album, “Sense of Pride,” released in the fall of 2018, is described by Morris as “the most personal musical work I’ve attempted about my life and how I see the world.”
High Performance Entertainment, launched in 2018 by veteran agent David Kiswiney, also represents Exile, Gunnar and the Grizzly Boys, Gil Grand, Derek St. Holmes and The Okies. Kiswiney was an agent with the iconic Buddy Lee Attractions for 25 years, until their doors closed in 2018.
Alkahest Artists & Attractions, America’s legendary performing arts agency, spans three centuries, and has presented live performances of such luminaries as Mark Twain, The Beatles, and The Carpenters, to name a few. Alkahest Artists & Attractions represents a diverse roster in the disciplines of music and theatre.
