           If you are from Plymouth, there is no doubt that you
           know or know of the Spire Center's Vice President and
           Booking Director, Lloyd Rosenberg. For over forty years
           Lloyd was a well-respected Massachusetts Super
           Lawyer with the firm Winokur, Serkey & Rosenberg, PC
           in Plymouth. Lloyd has received the President's Special
           Recognition Award for his work with the Massachusetts
           Academy of Trial Attorneys, and the Massachusetts Bar
           Association. He is the author of published articles
           relating to automobile insurance coverage issues and
           Lloyd was a lecturer for Massachusetts Continuing Legal
           Education, Inc.
           Lloyd, along with Mike Landers, were founding members
           of Project Arts Inc. Project Arts has provided concerts
           free of charge for over twenty years on Plymouth’s
           waterfront.
           Many people also know Lloyd as a talented singer and
           songwriter who performs at Plymouth and surrounding
           area lounges.
           Lloyd became involved with the Spire Center when it
           first opened almost ten years ago. His friend Bob Hollis,
           President of the Spire Center told Lloyd of his vision of a
           much needed premier concert venue in Plymouth. Lloyd
           loved the idea, and he took on the roles of vice president
           and booking agent. The Spire is now undergoing a three
           and one half million-dollar renovation due to Bob and
           Lloyd’s hard work.
           Over the past nine plus years Lloyd’s bookings at the
           Spire read like a Who’s Who of the music industry. Here
           are just a few: Jimmie Vaughn, Jimmy Webb, Dave
           Mason, Peter Wolf, Martin Barre, Larry Carlton, John
           Sebastian, Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, Rita Coolidge,
           Kathy Mattea, Joan Osborne, Denny Laine, Coco
           Montoya, Marshall Crenshaw, Albert Cummings, Tinsley
           Ellis, Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters, Quinn Sullivan,
           Michael Sweet, Walter Trout, Grace Kelly and many,
           many more.                                           On top, Lloyd performing on the Spire’ stage!
