Come along take a ride on the Fantastic Voyage

Concert promoters organize and present live music events, taking care of everything from booking talent and securing venues to setting ticket prices and marketing the showRon Nelson Productions was more than just your average concert promotions company during the 80’s and 90’s. Because of our relentless work as a small independent company bringing urban events north of the border,  we became a major player in moving and shaping the Toronto and Canadian Hip-hop, Reggae and Sound Clash culture as we know it today. We hope to tell the story here on our website.
