Est. 1968
The international music business guide
The music industry's directory since 1968.
Our story
Showcase started life in 1968 as a printed directory, a 740-page annual guide that became known across the industry as "the bible" of music production. For decades, if you needed to find a PA company, a studio, or a lighting hire firm, Showcase was where you looked.
That same principle hasn't changed. Whether you're sourcing backline in Stockholm, booking studio time in New York, or looking for a rehearsal space in London, Showcase is built to put the right contacts in front of you. Just without the 740 pages.
What we cover
The directory covers the key areas of the music production industry.
From artist managers and booking agents to promoters, legal services and transport.
Showcase & Entourage Pro
Showcase is owned and run by James Stanbridge, who acquired the directory in 2009 from the Wilmington Group. With over 20 years in live music production, James took Showcase from print to digital while keeping the coverage and reputation the directory has built since the late 1960s.
Showcase helps you find businesses: suppliers, venues, studios and services. Entourage Pro helps you find people. Co-founded by James and Joel Perry, Entourage Pro is a verified global crew network with over 12,000 freelance production professionals across 150+ roles including FOH engineers, lighting designers, riggers, tour managers, backline techs, video engineers, and a lot more.
