FUNTIME PRESENTS AND SUPERNAUT BOOKING ALIGN IN BRINGING CONCERTS TO WESTERN NEW YORK REGION Buffalo, NY-based promotion companies Funtime Presents and Supernaut Booking are proud to announce a newly formed partnership that is expected to bring more concerts to the Western New York region and beyond.

With an aim to use their individual strengths and experience, Funtime and Supernaut expect not only to increase the number of concerts and events booked but will additionally strive in bringing some of the acts that have eluded the markets. "I am absolutely honored to be entering this partnership with Funtime," says Supernaut's Bryce March.

"Their achievements in this industry have been an inspiration to me, and as people they possess a keen sense of values and professionalism which I respect immensely. I eagerly look forward to promoting and producing events along side them in what I expect will undoubtedly become a great era of live entertainment in the markets we operate in."

The partnership will see the two companies merging elements of their operations, consolidating efforts and creatively working together to promote and produce shows while each will maintain their individual identities.

"Bryce is a unique individual and we want him to see him maintain that individuality as we move forward together," says Funtime's Artie Kwitchoff.

Funtime Presents is celebrating 20 years of producing and promoting concerts and events throughout New York State from small clubs to amphitheater and arena level. Funtime is the operator of Town Ballroom the premier club for concerts and special events in Western New York. Since opening in 2005, the 1000-capacity club has hosted acts ranging from Bob Weir and Ratdog, Western New York favorites like The Goo Goo Dolls and moe., as well as Tragically Hip, Ryan Adams, Megadeth, Social Distortion, Metric and Built To Spill.

Supernaut Booking has been a strong and invigorating presence in the Buffalo market since bursting on the scene 4 years ago by presenting some of current music's most cutting edge, acclaimed live acts to the market including Iron and Wine, Explosions In The Sky, Of Montreal, The New Pornographers and Okkervil River.

"I am really excited about being on board with Supernaut," says Funtime's Donny Kutzbach. "Bryce and I have been friends for years. I've been really impressed and excited at the acts he's booked since he started Supernaut. I think the two companies working together is going to be a great fit."
