Built From Both Sides Of The Stage.
Ryder Entertainment Group was created by people who understand the entertainment business from the inside. As performers, business owners, booking professionals and lifelong members of the industry, we know what it takes to make a great performance happen — and everything that has to happen around it.
We work with artists, venues, event planners and private clients to create bookings that make sense for everyone involved. That means matching the right talent with the right opportunity, setting clear expectations, keeping communication straightforward and making the process professional from first contact through show day.
The Right Talent.
The Right Room.
A successful event is not just about putting an artist on a stage. The right performer has to fit the room, the audience, the venue and the occasion.
For artists, that means being represented professionally and connected with opportunities that fit. For venues and buyers, it means dependable talent, clear communication and confidence in who they are hiring.
Ryder exists to bring those two sides together.
Industry Experience
That Actually Matters.
Ryder’s founding partners, James Buddy Rogers and Joe Parente, bring decades of experience spanning live performance, touring, recording, talent booking, events and business.
That background shapes how Ryder operates: practical, transparent and focused on long-term relationships rather than simply filling dates on a calendar.
We understand the pressures on artists because we have lived them. We understand the expectations of venues and event buyers because we have worked with them. That perspective helps us build stronger matches, smoother bookings and better working relationships.
Experience On Stage And Behind The Booking.
Ryder was founded by two people who have spent their lives in entertainment from different but complementary perspectives.
The Goal Is Simple — Make The Experience Work.
Whether it’s a club, festival, corporate event, private function or something completely different, the goal is the same: find the right entertainment, make the booking clear and professional, and create an experience that works for everyone involved.
