The History of OLYMPIC PRODUCTIONS:
Olympic Productions was created in 1995 by Ed Hartman, professional entertainer and businessperson in Seattle, WA. Ed has experience in performance, production, contracting, and promotion. In the early 1980's Ed created a musician's cooperative ("Seattle Music Co-op"), a composers performance series ("Opus One"), festivals ("Days of Percussion"), and has been involved in Percussive Arts Society as Chapter President.
In 1993, Ed produced a CD, "Northwest Passage", that featured a dozen artists in the NW. This project provided Ed with experience producing other artists. After realizing that he was no longer able to perform at all of the functions requested, Ed decided that he can start to book other professional artists around him. Over the years, Ed has met and worked with many professional musicians, entertainers, booking agents, promoters, and clients. His large databases were already in place to put together a roster of entertainers. Besides helping clients find entertainment, Olympic Productions is dedicated to helping all artists in promotion, PR, performance, recording and musical growth.
