: : History : : In the Fall of 2003, fate bought George Roldan and Sean Crisden together. A chance meeting at a Divided Sky concert in Philadelphia came about as George was looking to support the local progressive talent. This meeting proved to be an important one because at the time both George and Sean were looking to start a concert series in the Philadelphia area. A month had passed by and George offered the opportunity to Sean to sponsor a concert featuring Spock's Beard as the main attraction. Sean heartily agreed and preparations were swiftly underway. Rising to the call for additional supporters who believed in what Roldan and Crisden were doing, Tom Smith offered all that he could do to make the performance a reality. In turn George offered the opportunity of for Tom to join in a serious effort to get a new company underway. The excitement was brewing and the offer sheet came in from Inside Out Music America... The rest was history on November 13th 2003 the first PPRC concert was held at the Sellersville theater in Sellersville, PA. This successful concert proved that the PPRC was serious in their efforts and prepared to embark on a journey that will bring musical excellence to Philadelphia and its surrounding areas.
