About

I'm Sara Beth Warnken, an emerging music industry professional passionate about touring, booking, and artist development. I'm graduating in May 2026 with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations, certificate in Music Business and a minor in General Business from the University of Georgia.​ 

​

I’ve spent my time in college building hands-on experience across multiple areas of the music business, including booking, venue operations, artist publicity, tour promotion, contracting, and industry research.
 

I’ve worked inside both the independent and major-industry sides of music, from interning with Big Machine Label Group in Nashville to working the door and serving as the talent buyer's intern at Athens’ historic 40 Watt Club music venue. 

Aside from the music industry, a big part of who I am professionally comes from time I've spent in customer service roles. Working in fast-paced restaurants and service-based environments taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, read people well, and find a way to connect with any kind of audience.

​

Outside of my school and work, I'm a concert fanatic, vinyl collector, animal lover, college football fan, and a travel enthusiast. You can catch me at a live show at least once a week. I’m now building my career toward becoming a booking agent, and am driven by the goal of helping artists take the next step in their careers. I love meeting new people, and am always happy to connect!
