Subject: Indie promoter Tommy Dorfman on my latest podcast

What happens when a teenage house party promoter takes on one of the biggest forces in live music?

Hi Friend,


On this week's podcast episode, I sit down with Tommy Dorfman, a veteran club promoter and founder of Juice Entertainment.


Tommy shares how he built a powerhouse promotion empire from scratch, packed out venues across New Jersey and New York, pioneered the East Coast house music scene, and went head-to-head with Live Nation.


His story dives deep into the grind of promotion, the mafia encounters, and a David-versus-Goliath lawsuit that could reshape the live music industry.


If you've ever wondered how the live music machine really works, this one is unmissable.

In this Episode:
   • How Tommy started promoting events at age 15 to pay his own rent
   • Why house parties were the gateway to building a nightlife empire
   • The moment Tommy packed 1,500 people into a club on a Wednesday night
   • Inside the gritty hustle of street-level promotion before social media
   • How Tommy ran Myspace’s live events division on the East Coast
   • A firsthand account of mafia threats and how he stood his ground
   • How Live Nation allegedly forced him out of a major festival deal
   • The 15-year legal fight against Live Nation and what’s at stake
   • Why ticket prices are skyrocketing—and who’s really to blame
   • What Tommy hopes to change for fans, artists, and independent promoters
