ABOUT SIMON CANTLON

I have worked for over 25 years in the entertainment industry initially working in radio, publicity,

record label marketing, and band management before transitioning into digital media bringing me

into the world of television, music artists, and live music.

​

I have worked on many TV shows including American Idol, Weeds, So You Think You Can Dance,

Queer As Folk, Californication, and so on. I have also worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises,

David Beckham, Adam Lambert, Daughtry, The Spice Girls, Carrie Underwood, and more.

I was nominated for an Emmy for my work on the television show Dexter.

 

After leaving the corporate entertainment world I went solo and started producing festivals and events

including Rockabilly On The Route  and now the Rockabillaque festival  which is now in its 8th year and is in two states drawing over 20k in attendees annually with plans to expand even further with more festivals.

​

I also produce an annual LGBTQ Pride Event called Park Circle Pride that drew over 8k

in attendance in its first year and returns this June. All my festivals are benefits and raise money for charities. 

Other events in the works for 2022 include a Cinco De Mayo Festival, a Tiki Surf Festival and more.
