Main Stage — Galas · Keynote Concerts · Brand Activations

    We build the moment your event is remembered for.

    From a sold-out night at the Fonda Theatre to a custom activation for a global hotel brand at IMEX, the team behind Rock to Recovery and BandJAM has produced live music experiences at real scale — full stage, professional touring musicians, and a room that feels like something happened.

    Main Stage is BandJAM's large-scale production tier — for galas, conferences, and flagship nights that need more than a background act.

    Case Study 01 — Flagship Gala Production

    The Fonda Theatre — a full house, a full stage, a night people talk about for years.

    For over a decade, the team behind BandJAM has produced its flagship benefit concert at Hollywood's 1,200-capacity Fonda Theatre — a real touring venue, not a rented ballroom. Each year, an All-Star Jam brings members of Korn, Billy Idol's band, Sugar Ray, and Jane's Addiction on stage together, backed by full production: touring-grade lighting, sound, staging, and a house that sells out.

    • Members of Korn
    • Billy Idol's band
    • Sugar Ray (Mark McGrath)
    • Jane's Addiction
    • Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
    • Mike Ness (Social Distortion)
    • Filter
    • Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit)
    • Stone Temple Pilots
    • Moby
    • Chester Bennington
    • Keith David
    • Jay Mohr
    • Katey Sagal
    • Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down)
    • Scott Underwood (Train)

    This is the same production discipline — venue logistics, artist relations, run-of-show, live recording — that an event of this scale demands. It's not a one-off; it's a program we've run annually, at capacity, for years.

    Case Study 02 — Corporate & Brand Activation

    Las Vegas — a custom musical experience built for a global hotel brand, at IMEX America.

    At Mandalay Bay's Daylight Beach Club, IMEX America — the industry's flagship events & meetings trade show — contracted our team to build and run a live, guided song-writing experience for their client Accor, the global hospitality group behind Fairmont, Raffles, and Sofitel. Guests didn't just watch a performance — they became part of one: picking a theme, writing a verse and chorus with a professional musician leading the session, and walking away with a recorded song built in the room, that night.

    "BandJAM helped us build a fully custom musical experience for our client, Accor International, that expanded their event's impact and brought value for guests. I would recommend partnering with them for a unique event enhancement that people will remember."

    — Morgan Frost, Access (Destination Management Co.), at IMEX America

    An ICON-tier network built for rooms exactly like this one.

    Every BandJAM experience is led by a vetted JAM Master — a professional touring musician. At the top of that network sits an ICON tier with real headline and keynote-concert experience.

    Peter Katz

    • JUNO Award nominee
    • Canadian Screen Award nominee
    • Certified facilitator
    • Professional keynote speaker

    A JUNO Award and Canadian Screen Award–nominated singer-songwriter with two decades of stagecraft, Peter created the Celebrate What Matters™ keynote concert format — turning a room of strangers into a single voice for some of the most demanding audiences in the world.

    "One of the best and most impactful keynotes I have ever witnessed — and I have been leading, attending, and planning them for over 30 years. At first a singer-songwriter was not an easy sell to our C-suite... but they were very excited with the results. Peter was a true top-notch superstar."

    • Mission-aligned storytelling. Built on Rock to Recovery's decade-plus history in behavioral health — a natural fit for nonprofits, treatment communities, and purpose-driven brands.

    How We'd Work Together

    1. 01

      Discovery

      A short call about your room, your audience, and the moments that matter most in your story. We map the emotional arc of the night from there.

    2. 02

      Design

      We match the artists to the room — JAM Master or ICON tier — shape the experience, and build it into your existing program and run-of-show.

    3. 03

      Production

      Staging, sound, lighting, rehearsals, and venue logistics — handled end-to-end by the team that has produced the Fonda at capacity for over a decade.

    4. 04

      The night — and after

      The moment itself, live. Then the recording from the night, mixed and delivered — a keepsake your donors and your socials keep sharing.

    The next step is a 30-minute conversation — your room, your audience, and the moment we'd build for it. No deck, no pitch. Just the night, planned out loud.
