In the entertainment world, trust is earned one flawless night at a time. Contracts, riders, and logistics can fill pages, but what keeps the biggest names returning to the same partners is something far more intangible — dependability. And in the American nightlife and live entertainment circuit, few names command that trust like Michael Wites and Cory Blank.
With over 15 years of combined experience and a portfolio of 15+ premier venues across the country, the duo has quietly built one of the most respected reputations in hospitality. To the untrained eye, their success looks effortless. But behind the scenes lies an exacting standard of execution that has become their signature — where every performance, every booking, and every audience experience is delivered with precision.
From Tiesto to Bad Bunny, Cardi B to Migos, Fisher, Myke Towers, Black Coffee, and beyond, Wites and Blank have collaborated with artists who define the global sound of this generation. Yet what makes those relationships remarkable isn’t the size of the names — it’s the continuity of the partnerships. Many of these artists first worked with the duo when their careers were still rising. Years later, they still choose them, not out of convenience, but confidence.
That confidence begins with communication.
In an industry often slowed by intermediaries and bureaucracy, Wites and Blank have built a direct-to-decision-maker model that artists and agents value deeply. When a show is being booked, they don’t wait days for replies or approvals. They speak directly with Cory or Mike — no assistants, no endless email threads, just swift coordination and straight answers.
This personal touch translates into professional excellence.
Contracts are executed in hours, marketing campaigns are deployed within a day, and story posts or digital drops are perfectly timed for maximum impact. Artists and managers know that when Wites and Blank confirm an event, it won’t just happen — it will run flawlessly.
But reliability alone doesn’t sustain relationships; vision does. The duo understands that artists aren’t simply performers — they’re brands. Every booking is an opportunity to shape narrative, elevate experience, and connect with fans on a deeper level. Whether it’s an intimate showcase or a sold-out festival slot, the focus is always on synergy — aligning the artist’s identity with the venue’s energy.
Their ability to synchronize those two worlds — artistry and environment — has turned their venues into cultural landmarks rather than mere nightlife stops. Guests don’t just attend events; they remember them. For Wites and Blank, that’s the true metric of success.
Beyond the spotlight, their business acumen gives them another edge.
With representation of 30+ venues nationwide and partnerships that extend into college tour circuits, they’ve engineered a routing advantage that benefits everyone involved. Artists gain access to optimized schedules and broader audiences, while agents secure stronger margins and smoother logistics. It’s a system that fuses artistry with efficiency — and it’s redefining how entertainment networks operate.
Perhaps what’s most striking about their approach is the absence of ego.
Despite their reach, Wites and Blank remain deeply hands-on. They still walk the floor, greet artists personally, and oversee details that most executives delegate. That humility has become part of their brand — proof that genuine hospitality isn’t an act, it’s a habit.
In a world obsessed with hype, Michael Wites and Cory Blank have chosen something more enduring — trust.
They’ve built their empire not on flash, but follow-through. And for artists and agents navigating an industry where reliability is rare and excellence is expected, that’s the partnership that delivers — every single time.
