JOEY SYKES – President

Anchor Booking Agency (ABA), prides itself on representing road tested, experienced, and in some cases, well known musicians/bands. Targeting casinos, performing arts centers, theatres, festivals, clubs and more, ABA is servicing the resurgence of live music. Bands/musicians want to play, venues want to make money, and people want to go out and have fun, while seeing and listening to great bands. ABA founder/president Joey Sykes knows this drill all too well.

Joey Sykes is no stranger to the road. Having played stages like Madison Square Garden, Staples Center, Ryman Auditorium, Top of the Pops, VH1 Hard Rock Live, and others, as touring guitarist for Meredith Brooks (“I’m a Bitch”), and just about every major US city, and 6 other countries, playing guitar in THE BABYS, Tommy Henriksen, Coward, Boystown, and others. While enjoying a successful career in music, he has also become friends with many individuals who cover just about every aspect of live music, from Casinos, personal managers, other booking agents, club owners, performing arts centers, and perhaps most importantly, MANY A-list bands and musicians.
