The T.J. Martell Foundation will present Red Light Management Founder Coran Capshaw with the Lifetime Music Industry Award at its 51st annual New York Honors Gala on Sept. 15.
The foundation’s primary annual fundraiser brings together music industry legends, philanthropic leaders, and pioneering scientists for a night of tribute, inspiration, and purpose, all in support of cancer research.
Lifetime Music Industry Award recipient Capshaw has built Red Light into the world’s largest independent artist management company, where he personally manages Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Chris Stapleton and The Strokes, among others. Beyond management, he has helped shape acclaimed music festivals and venues across the country, as well as carries a deep commitment to philanthropy.
“We are deeply honored to recognize our esteemed music industry colleague Coran Capshaw with this year’s Lifetime Music Industry Award, a tribute to decades of remarkable dedication and philanthropic leadership,” says Steve Gawley, Executive Vice President, Republic Co., Head of Business & Legal Affairs, Republic Collective and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, T.J.

Coran’s enduring commitment to philanthropy, as well as his ability to rally artists in support of meaningful causes, has made a profound impact on our community.

“I am incredibly honored to support this life-saving work,” says Capshaw. “Giving back has always been important to me, and being able to engage our generous music community to support vitally important organizations such as the T.J. Martell Foundation is something I’m proud of and will keep doing my part however I can.”
