Dave Rose is an American entertainment executive and entrepreneur. He is the CEO and co-founder of Deep South Entertainment, an artist and event management firm based in Raleigh, NC. He also serves as president of ArtistManagers.io.
Early Life
[edit]Dave attended North Carolina State University to pursue his undergraduate degree. Shortly after graduating, he toured and recorded as a bass player in several regional and local bands, including Paris Red, 9811, and The Hot Skillet Lickers. During this time, Rose was also working to lay the groundwork for what would later become Deep South Records. [1]
Deep South
[edit]In 1995, Rose founded Deep South Records. From 1995-1999, the label released a series of compilation CDs that included artists like Marcy Playground, Five for Fighting, Marvelous 3, Sister Hazel, Donna the Buffalo, Mighty Joe Plum, Athenaeum, Dayroom, Collapsis, and more.[2]
In 1999, Rose and the company’s focus switched to Artist Management and Event management. Artists that Deep South Entertainment has managed include: Alex Wong, Allison Moorer, Branan Murphy, Coby James, Collapsis, I Was Totally Destroying It, Jason Michael Carroll, Kasey Tyndall, Kyler England, Lainey Wilson, Lee Roy Parnell, Lit, Little Feat, Marcy Playground, Mike Daly, Parmalee, Royce Lovett, SR-71, Sixpence None the Richer Stryper, The Warren Brothers, Tres Chicas, Vienna Teng, and Yarn[3][4].
As an Event Management company, Deep South buys talent and produces concerts for some of Central North Carolina's notable events such as The North Carolina State Fair, Out! Raleigh Pride, Cuegrass, OC Fest, Live After 5, Downtown Live, The North Carolina Governor's Inaugural Ball, Fayetteville After 5, Thrive NC, The Farm Concerts, Fayetteville Dogwood Festival, Y'all at Dix Park, Raleigh Downtown Live, and Oak City 7[5].

Stryper
[edit]In 2002 Rose worked with Stryper founder, Michael Sweet, in reuniting Stryper for their first tour since the band had unceremoniously disbanded in 1992. The band released the CD, 7 Weeks: Live in America through the band’s self-run label Fifty Three Five Records. The band fully reunited as a result and have been actively touring and recording ever since, with Rose still involved as co-manager[7].

He served as the band’s business manager from 2006 to 2018 and was instrumental in the band’s relocation to Nashville and their segue from rock to country music[14].
