Since Mitchell Greenhill joined his father in 1976, the company has expanded into the areas of record production and sound design/music composition for theater. Representing the third generation, Mitch’s son Matthew Greenhill joined in 1997, and has helped to broaden the company’s international horizons.
We have come a long way since 1957, when founder Manny Greenhill (pictured at left) first presented a series of concerts at Boston’s Jordan Hall. Featured artists included his old guitar teacher, bluesman Josh White, and a hero from his days as a labor activist, Pete Seeger.
He decided to call the presenting entity Folklore Productions.
After it’s founding, Folklore quickly grew into the areas of artist representation, publishing (including songs recorded by Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones), record production (including a Grammy winner and several nominees), and eventually theatrical sound design. The agency has guided the careers and cared for the interests of important artists such as Joan Baez, Taj Mahal and Reverend Gary Davis. We continue today to represent the finest artists world-wide.
Now more than 50 years after it’s founding, FLi Artists remains a dynamic, forward-looking family business. Mitch Greenhill continues the work of his father, Manny, with the help of his son and partner Matt Greenhill.
The company is proud of its strong roster of talented artists as well as its world-wide network of agent and publishing affiliates. It regularly sends artists to Europe and Asia, and brings them from Europe (especially Ireland and the UK), central Asia and Africa. Appalachian artist Doc Watson, having journeyed from busking the streets of North Carolina to receiving the National Medal of Arts at the White House, was a mainstay of the roster for forty-three years until his passing in 2012.
