The name A&R has 2 distinct meanings held closely and in high regard to PromoWest and the company’s long standing history. The first being Artist and Repertoire. This is the division responsible for talent scouting and artistic development. For over 30 years, PromoWest Productions has been developing bands by bringing new and exciting acts as well as the industry’s biggest names to Columbus, Ohio. Several notable bands such as Fall Out Boy, The Killers and O.A.R started out playing our smaller venues and eventually ended up selling out our largest facility, EXPRESS LIVE! Outdoors. The second part of the name is simple and straightforward, Art and Rock. This is who we are and what the A&R Music Bar represents. A&R Music Bar allows you the chance to relive some of the most memorable shows in Columbus, Ohio’s history, as well as catch a glimpse of the great things to come at each of our venues.
