Todd Menzies ~ Owner/Operator
Founded in 2011, Menzies Music Productions was created to meet the growing needs of independent artists in the Kootenays, specializing in artist management and live music production. The company was established by Todd Menzies, a self-taught entrepreneur and former touring musician, who successfully transformed his on-stage experience into a dynamic and respected production business.
In 2013, Menzies Music partnered with Golden Delicious Productions to launch Golden Sound Festival—Golden’s first official music festival. Over the next five years, they produced seven festivals, including both summer and winter editions of the popular “Block Party”, a multi-venue event in downtown Golden. With funding from Creative BC and the BC Arts Council, the festival expanded in 2018 into a larger, family-friendly event at Keith King Memorial Park, featuring headliners such as Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer and The Wooden Sky.
In 2014, Menzies relocated to Vancouver to grow his company and began working with the respected concert promotion firm Timbre Concerts. Starting as a contracted Production Manager, he rose to Head of Production by 2016, and expanded his skill set into roles such as Technical Director and Immigration Specialist. Over six years, Menzies contributed to some of Canada’s most prominent events, including Pemberton Music Festival, Levitation Vancouver, and the TD International Jazz Festival, further solidifying his reputation in the national music industry.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Menzies returned to Golden, where he successfully adapted to the shifting live events landscape. In 2021, Menzies Music partnered with Pursuit to launch the Golden Skybridge Summer Concert Series, hosting over 30 artists across 12 weeks each summer—revitalizing live music in the community through a vibrant outdoor experience.
Most recently, Menzies was hired as the Talent Buyer for the Sp’awk’us Feather Shakedown in Squamish, BC, continuing his commitment to curating quality live music experiences across the province.
