THE JIM IRSAY COLLECTION
Joined together around the microphone, Jim Irsay passionately unleashes his voice alongside the extraordinary talent standing next to him. Driven by his unwavering love for rock music, Mr. Irsay ingeniously cREATED a complimentary rock concert, uniting people through the power of music.
AS A SPIRITED PHILANTHROPIST, MR. IRSAY IS DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH A CONCERT SERIES THAT WILL ALLOW THE WORLD TO EXPERIENCE ROCK LEGENDS.
THE CHALLENGE
Following the triumphant establishment of the Jim Irsay Collection museum, Mr. Irsay unveiled the exciting concept of a traveling concert that would harmonize perfectly with the mesmerizing artifacts. Recognizing EES’ exceptional prowess in production, we once again joined forces to deliver an extraordinary spectacle that comes alive on the grand stage.
Effective artist management and meticulous logistics played a pivotal role in orchestrating a flawless and triumphant event that left participants and attendees in awe.
THE SUCCESS
Every concert in The Jim Irsay Collection is a masterful production that requires an extensive three-day process involving over 60 skilled individuals to load in, set up, and coordinate before the artists even begin their rehearsals. As the curtain rises, a crowd of 6,000 eager fans is embraced by the electrifying sounds of rock legends such as Mike Mills (REM), Buddy Guy, Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), and Ann Wilson (Heart). With our expertise, EES has successfully curated and presented a remarkable series of 11 shows across the country, and we are only getting started.
THE WORLD TOUR
Each exhibit in The Jim Irsay Collection is meticulously crafted and designed to perfection by the EES team.
Every city presents its own set of obstacles when it comes to obtaining permits and ensuring security, all in the name of guaranteeing the safe and secure entrance and exit of these world renowned artists.
Furthermore, for every new city, we create a fresh and innovative stage and lighting design, and implement an effective crowd control plan. These measures are taken to guarantee that our more than 6,000 attendees have a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.
"To call Irsay’s collection breathtaking would not do it justice. Items on display ran the gamut from historical artifacts — such as letters from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the wanted poster for John Wilkes Booth and the Atlantic Charter signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt — to pop culture items such as Hunter S. Thompson’s “Red Shark” 1973 Chevrolet Caprice convertible."
