NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Fusion Touring, a division under the Fusion Entertainment Company (FUSENTCO) umbrella, a Nashville consortium of veteran music industry professionals with expertise in artist and event management, booking, film and television, sponsor relations, and music distribution, is pleased to announce the addition Kolt Barber (Barbed Wire Entertainment/Maverick Management) to its roster. The Fusion Touring team will represent Kolt Barber and all mutual endeavors, including The Kolt Barber American Cowboy Showdown™ and “Saddle To The Stage”™ television show, in the live entertainment, booking, and sponsorship sectors. Kolt Barber, who is a veteran country recording artist and music producer, heads Maverick Management and is the creator of The Kolt Barber American Cowboy Showdown.™ Marrying his devotion to the land and his love for music, the showdown (an open-air, safe-environment rodeo and live music event, sanctioned by the IPRA) embraces, and caters to, the blue-collar, AG, farming, ranching, and trucking communities and lifestyle. The agency’s initiative and goal is to align with complementing sponsors and secure dates throughout the country encompassing fairs and festivals, AG centers, arenas, and more.
“Kolt is a talented entertainer who is true to his heritage,” said Mike Meade, Co-Vice President, Fusion Touring. “He is a visionary with business savvy and a plan, and with our mutual history of success in his market and our combined areas of expertise, I am confident we can cultivate a long-lasting, reputable all- American event for years to come.” "Mike, Amy, and Chuck are a committed and dedicated team with a shared enthusiasm and passion to cater to the small town, blue-collar, farm and ranch communities and audiences—the backbone of our American culture,” Kolt Barber added. “The Fusion Touring environment feels like home; I’m grateful for the team's support and am excited to see where this road takes us." Barber recently announced his alliance Swood Media in the production of “Saddle To The Stage™;” the show concept, incorporating The Kolt Barber American Cowboy Showdown™ as the backdrop, combines Barber’s AG consulting prowess and music career and is set to premiere in January 2021. Harvesting the “all- American spirit,” the real-life, action-packed, “agri-tainment” TV show captures behind-the-scenes outtakes of fast-pace rough-stock rodeo, the music industry (on stage and in the studio), and the life and times of a touring band and rancher. FUSENTCO is dedicated to seek and secure partnering relationships. Kolt will make a special guest appearance on “Corn Warriors,” produced by Swood Media, tomorrow, Thursday, November 19, 2020 (Episode 9/See RFD-TV for local air time). Kolt visits and consults with Eric Reed who is a first-generation Middle Tennessee farmer who produces corn, wheat, and soybean.
