First of all… Ethel… you and your team ONCE AGAIN executed everything seamlessly, without hesitation and our guests throughout the entire campus were treated to a #1 Bowl experience. Thank you for your attention to ALL of the details. Miquelle and I were able to actually enjoy to the fullest that day. It was so wonderful to be able to see the "pre game" activities for the first time in five years!!!!
775 FOLKS… WOW, that's a lot of people to entertain and you guys did it masterfully.
Thank you again, you are all such professionals and a first class group to work FOR!!!! Happy New Year to one and all on your team.

I would like to personally thank the Promoter Line staff for a job well done. Jerry, your staff worked very hard and did not stop despite the rain until the job was done. Both the start and the overnight were set up correctly and ready for us. It was quite the undertaking to move the scaffolding down the street to Prince Solms Park in the dark with it pouring rain. Most companies would have said we can’t do this, but with the police escort your men moved forward. The only light we had was the police car’s spot light and our truck’s headlights. I can’t say enough about the warehouse…your staff loaded and unloaded the supplies and left everything clean, neat and organized. I definitely felt your staff was there to please us and to help in any way they could to make things run smoother. It was quite obvious it was not their first bike ride.

We've been privileged to work with Jerry Thompson and the Promoter Line staff. It has been our experience that when Promoter Line is heading up an event, there is nothing left to chance. The staff at Promoter Line are true professionals who are committed to excellence in every area from scheduling to sound quality. As performers, we've found that working with Promoter Line is like working with a well-oiled machine- everyone knows what to do, when to do it and how to deliver a first-class event.

The event was awesome and this is being echoed by all our clients. We have been receiving a number of "Great Event!!" comments from all over and this is truly a clear indication on you and your team's ability to produce one hell of an event.
I am very excited to have you as a strategic partner. Your ability to identify and overcome obstacles was very impressive, as well as dealing with the adversity of our internal processes. My teammates and I would like to thank you for a great event weekend. We look forward to partnering up again in future events and making Chevy Thunder bigger and better.

Dear Jerry:
Wow! What and experience! After all the months of work I am still amazed at how fast everything happens on "event day" and then it's over! I couldn't let any more time pass to let you know what a pleasure it was working with you and your staff on the March 14, Ride Around the World event. The professionalism of Promoter Line, Inc. certainly took the Eisenhower Medical Center events to a whole new level. Our guests are still raving about the event and are challenging us to "top this one."

I have worked with and for Jerry and Promoter Line, Inc. for the last 10 years in many capacities. I have been the tour manager and front-of-house engineer for Kirk Whalum for 16 years and also work with many other artists in the contempary jazz industry. I have done many shows for Jerry at The Caravan of Dreams, Main Street Arts Festival and Bass Performance Hall. I have always looked forward to working with Jerry's companies because I know the job will get done very professionally and correct. There is never any second guessing, or for that fact, any guessing at all what the mission is to be accomplished. I have been in the business for almost 30 years, and I can count on one hand the number of promoters and production companies that are as competent and professional as Jerry Thompson and Promoter Line.

Jerry Thompson is one of the best promoters I have ever worked with. Due to his vision and since he always thinks outside the box, he has helped several of my artists achieve success in markets that had been dropping off in attendance. If you are looking for an independent promoter that always goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jerry Thompson.

“Whether it’s an intimate club show, or a festival for tens-of-thousands, Promoter Line delivers. From planning, production, security, ticketing…whatever the date calls for, Jerry Thompson and his crew are exceptional to work with. The Promoter Line Group can deal with whatever comes their way, and they set the standard for quality in every aspect of the production. I can’t think of any company better to work with.”

“Having Jerry Thompson and Promoter Line Inc. involved with your event takes out all the worry. You know you are in the hands of an outstanding professional team that will do whatever necessary to make your event a success.
