Special Events & tours
Over the years we have managed and produced countless special events. Everything from private parties, corporate functions, and fundraising events large and small - are part of our core competencies. These types of events come with added responsibility and balance, because there are usually two stars at these types of events - the artist performing and the client. Just Listen takes care of both.
Tours require a similar type of balance, along with logistical expertise and the understanding of how to efficiently and effectively move from point A to point B to point C. Whether its an artist or a brand we’re producing for, Just Listen knows the route to success.

Who We Are.
Joe Litvag, the founder of The Just Listen Company, has over 30 years of experience in the Live Entertainment Industry, 25 years of which were spent in executive positions with the three of the largest producers and promoters in the world. Beginning as an intern for a St. Louis-based concert promoter way back when, Joe has a deep understanding of the business of live entertainment.
Joe is highly specialized in areas such as festivals (creation/development/execution), venues (development/strategy/talent programming/operations), and special events (private/corporate/branding).
His depth is unparalleled, having created or co-created 16 festivals, developed nine venues, produced countless special events, and promoted thousands of concerts featuring the biggest music artists in the world. No point to shamelessly name drop - just imagine the biggest music artists you can think of. With rare exception - if they’ve performed, we’ve worked with them.
Just Listen is based in Saint Louis, Missouri where Joe lives with his wife Lisa and sons Jake and Jordan.
