On
September 9th, 1999, Greg Ericson merged all of his business ventures
into Ericson Group, Inc., a full-service entertainment and marketing
company.
In 1990, Greg founded Ericson & Associates, an entertainment,
marketing and consulting firm in central and south Florida. Ericson
moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1991 and spent a year acting jointly
as the General Manager of the Mud Island Amphitheatre and Director
of Marketing for Mud Island Theme Park and the Amphitheatre. Greg
was responsible for producing all events on the Island throughout
the season, including 22 shows in the 5,400 seat Amphitheatre, which
included Don Henley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chicago and Jimmy Buffett.
The 'Star Spangled Celebration' on the 4th of July brought over
20,000 Mid-Southerners to the Island to see music on five stages
culminating with Al Green & Mark Cohn and the city's biggest
fireworks display. Additionally, the 1991 Mud Island season ended
as the most financially successful in its ten-year history.
After leaving Mud Island, he worked with PACE Concerts to promote
the first rock-n-roll show, Van Halen, in the new Pyramid Arena,
selling out over 19,500 tickets.
