DVT Entertainment (Jim Thorpe & Vince Volz) would like to wish everyone a great Holiday and a prosperous 2018 to end out the year!!!

2017 was another great year for DVT with the all Festivals and club bookings. We met so many new artists this year along with continuing to work with local, regional and national artists.
Going in to 2018 we'll be looking forward to guiding many Artists careers. Below are some of the opportunities we have and how you can possibly get involved.

We are looking for bands who take their careers seriously, don't over saturate their area and treat every show as an event!
