Progressive Artist Management (PAM) was formed in Illinois, USA many years ago by George Schmid and legendary tour manager, Bill Carlton as a regional booking agency.

They soon grew into concert and event promotion and featured some of the top bands of the time.

Schmid then took the company in the direction of artist management, focusing primarily on musical artists, but also models, comedy acts and other various entertainment groups.

Eventually, PAM was relocated to the Laguna Beach CA, area to be closer to the thriving Southern California entertainment scene.

PAM now works with top artists worldwide with close ties to Hollywood and the movie industry.
