Brian Crowne has spent the last 36 years immersed in the live music and event industry, first as a touring musician and later as a concert promoter and venue owner.

He and his wife Day purchased George's Majestic Lounge in 2004 with a plan to focus on making George's the premier club showcase venue in the region for live music. Betting on George's success in 2008, they, along with Suzie Stephens, purchased the Arkansas Music Pavilion, commonly known as The AMP.   Brian stewarded the sale of The AMP to the Walton Arts Center in 2011 with the goal of building a permanent amphitheater. The WAC asked Brian to stay on as a contractor, responsible for all aspects of the business. Eventually, after being an integral part of the design and operations team opening Walmart AMP in June of 2014, he was asked to become VP of Walmart AMP and serve as part of Walton Arts Center's C-Suite executive leadership team. His title and responsibilities were expanded in 2024 to include VP of Walmart AMP & Strategic Initiatives. He now handles all artist bookings for the venue, fostering and managing relationships with promoter partners, offers business oversite, is deeply involved in long-term strategic planning, and is integral in community and governmental relations in serving on Walton Arts Center's C-Suite executive team.

Brian & Day Crowne still own and operate George's Majestic Lounge. Through their company, The Crowne Group LLC, he consults, plans, and produces turnkey events and productions across the region as well, including concerts for the City of Rogers, Hog Town music for the Razorbacks, and much more. 

He helped found the Downtown Fayetteville Coalition and serves as President of the Board of Directors.
