Sami Leigh
Founder + Chief Experience Officer
Sami (she/her) is an experienced events professional with a passion for the industry. When she's not working you'll find her at as many concerts and festivals as her schedule allows, headbanging with the best of them. From food truck festivals to trade shows to roller discos and more, Sami's extensive event production experience is driven by a deep love of concerts and live events. Contributing to the chaos that is the event industry isn't just her professional aspiration, it's her personal mission.
Sami got her start by volunteering at music festivals such as Boston Calling and Bonnaroo as well as other local events while attending Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. She secured various relevant work experiences including interning for Huka Entertainment where she was able to work directly on Pemberton Music Festival in 2016.
Upon graduating with a BS in Sports, Entertainment, & Event Management she landed an Event Manager role with Townsquare Media in Portland, ME & Portsmouth, NH where she produced 5 trade shows and 4 lifestyle festivals/events annually. During her time at Townsquare Media, Sami also traveled around the country working one-off Event Production Assistant gigs for other markets' events including Taste of Fort Collins in Fort Collins, CO and the Untappd Beer Festival in Charlotte, NC.
Next Sami traveled to Boston where she worked at City Winery managing concerts and events in 5 event spaces, including two music halls. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic hit during her time here and her role was impacted by the global shutdown. During this time off Sami had to find a new way to find fulfillment while honoring her passion for live events amid a very bleak time in the industry.
Sami secured an Assistant Manager position with the City of Providence Parks Department at The Providence Rink where she combined her passion of live events and ice skating to create a lasting impact on Rhode Island's Capital. In 2022 Sami was promoted to Programming Supervisor which enabled her to create events and experiences including Roller Disco, Outdoor Movie Nights, Ice Shows, Wicked Walk: A Trick-or-Treat Experience, & more.
Today, Sami is pursuing her dream of creating events and experiences with Grrrl At The Rock Show Productions (est. 2023). With her drive, experience, & knowledge, she strives to bring together an amazing team and provide unique and memorable experiences for all.
