Check 2 Entertainment was started in mid-2013 by three full-time musicians who wanted to see a change in the way live music was being booked and performed. The idea was to take a completely fresh look at the live "Entertainment Business" and raise the level of professionalism from all sides. We wanted venues and event coordinators to view acts as an investment, as a part of a team, and as an asset to their overall business. We also wanted acts to understand that they would need to improve their level of entertainment and professionalism to be a more valuable member of that team. We wanted to create an agency focused on building relationships of trust, honesty, transparency, and integrity. We now, only represent venues and acts that align with these goals, matching the perfect act with the perfect venue.
