Our long history:
Porter Entertainment booking agency was founded, owned and
operated by Jim Porter from 1958 to 2001. He was inducted
into the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame in 2005, after serving
on its board from 1996 until 2004. Though Mr. Porter retired from
day-to-day involvement in booking, his vast experience and expertise
continue to contribute to the agency.
Tim Jones joined the agency in 1991. He brings a life-long
passion for music to the agency, plus years of experience in radio
broadcasting, musical program direction, and writing about music for
the Arkansas Times, Nightflying, and other
publications. Jones was the Entertainment Director/Talent Buyer for
the popular nightclub Smitty's in Little Rock from 1992 until
2002. In 2001, he assumed ownership of Porter Entertainment, and the
name of the agency was changed to Porter-Jones Entertainment.
He has a long-term relationship with the festival committee and
staff at one of the state's largest festival events, Little Rock's "Riverfest."
Jones has booked approximately 250 local, regional, and national
acts for the festival since 1998. Tim also maintains productive
relationships with literally hundreds of local and national
musicians, as well as production companies, performance venues,
recording studios, DJ services, personal managers, and national
booking agencies.
