I have known and done business with Carrie Moore Reed at Third Coast Talent for about 15 years. As a talent buyer for several venues (Theaters, Casinos, PAC's, Fairs, Festivals, etc.), I have had the opportunity to book numerous Artists though Carrie over the years.

Carrie acts with integrity and is the utmost professional… that together with her casual and personable manner make her a joy to work with. I would highly recommend contacting Carrie at Third Coast Talent whenever you are looking for entertainment.

Steve Rogers / Pope County Arkansas Fair

We recently had T Graham Brown and Shenandoah on back to back nights at our local county fair. I have worked with several different groups but none as easy to get along with as these two were. I believe this all begins with Carrie and the crew at Third Coast Talent. They have always treated me like I was their best customer. Thank you.
