Our History
TBN Entertainment (TBN) was established in 1996 as "Talent Buyer's Network" to serve the entertainment outsourcing needs of casinos, festivals & fairs, performing arts centers, corporate events, universities, and more. Since that time the business has gone on to work with venues, organizations, and artists of all sizes in an effort to fulfill client goals while simultaneously providing the best experience to consumers.
The company was originally opened as a subsidiary of Good Music Agency (GMA), which was founded in 1972 by Brian Knaff and Doug Brown. Throughout the years GMA maintained a diverse roster of more than 125 exclusive artists while training a substantial number of agents who went on to oversee the music industry. Executives like Chip Hooper (Paradigm Agency), Ron Baird (Creative Artists Agency), Keith Miller (William Morris Entertainment) and many more all played a role in the colorful history of GMA.
