Coran Capshaw is an American music industry executive, entrepreneur and founder of Red Light Management, a company that represents recording artists.
He is the manager of Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Chris Stapleton and The Strokes among others. He is also a concert promoter, independent record label owner, merchandiser and real estate developer.[3][4][5]
Capshaw's career in the music industry began in 1991 when he was the owner of Trax, a venue where he gave Dave Matthews Band their first weekly gig.[6] Seeing the success of the band locally, Capshaw began managing the band out of Trax and helped grow them from playing in nightclubs to amphitheaters and stadiums.[7]
