Prescient Entertainment was founded in 2011 by Lee Smith, a 30+ year Northern California concert industry veteran. In its first year, Prescient was awarded the exclusive concert promotion contract for The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, producing over 60 shows in the award-winning venue (perennially nominated for Best Small Venue at the annual Pollstar Awards). Since then, it has booked and produced the inaugural season at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA, developed and produced shows at the new SOMO Village Event Center in Rohnert Park, CA as well as booking and producing additional concerts in Northern California and consulting with other venues and presenters in the region.
Prior to starting this independent concert promotion company, Lee Smith was President and then Chairman of the Live Nation offices in San Francisco (formerly Bill Graham Presents) and Denver. The combined offices operated four amphitheatres including the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA and Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Concord, CA as well as the legendary Fillmore nightclubs in San Francisco and Denver, the previously mentioned The Mountain Winery, three comedy clubs, and the Warfield Theatre until a few years ago.
Prior to overseeing these offices, Smith served as SVP of Business Development and SVP of Booking at Bill Graham Presents when he was the principal booker and head of the Concert Division. He has booked thousands of shows, produced the first national Lollapalooza concourse activities in 1991, produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concerts in Golden Gate Park in 1996, was involved in the development of the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver and produced the Farm Aid concert in Seattle in 2004. He was also responsible for producing the annual Bridge School benefit concert with Neil and Pegi Young and has worked with Tom Waits, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and other performers on a myriad of benefit events.
