Music Matter Productions
Created as a company to provide musical education and support for children, Music Matters Productions, in its current form, launched in 2012 shifting focus to become a full rental and production house. The Atlanta festival and event scene quickly took notice and MMP is now the company of record for Atlanta’s Sweetwater 420Fest, Atlanta Jazz Festival, ONE MusicFest, Shaky Knees, Sea.Hear.Now. in New Jersey and many more. With the perfect combination of creative vision, a hardworking team of industry experts, as well as a high-end inventory of lighting, video, and audio gear, Music Matters Productions has grown from a small-shop operation serving the Atlanta area to creating unforgettable experiences for audiences and clients worldwide.
SES
Special Event Services began in 1986 when Jim Brammer and Jeff Cranfill decided to combine their skills and expertise to form Winston-Salem’s first true production company. SES quickly became known for its upscale equipment and production services, as well as the spirit of innovation carried into the business by its partners. This led to the launch of 11 sister companies to create a close-knit network that serves various avenues of the events and touring industries.
Beyond production services, the SES network of companies focuses on transportation, large entertainment structures, crowd management, chair rental and installation, and mobile staging. SES is currently serving clients such as Ed Sheeran, The Avett Brothers, Live Nation Worldwide, and AEG Live.
