Michael T. Strickland Named to Pollstar Impact 50 List Again USA – Bandit Lites chair and founder, Michael T. Strickland, was recently named as a recipient of the Pollstar 2021 Impact 50, the 50 most impactful people in Live Entertainment.

The result of his and others work was the passage of the CARES Act, enhanced unemployment and PPP funding, Save Our Stages, and the Shuttered Venue Operator Grants.
