Who We Are
Company Profile
Brandon Crumpton, owner of Key Signature Entertainment, started booking live music for events over 15 years ago. He has led the company through a growth period booking and producing entertainment to an average of over 750 events a year. Key Signature Entertainment has 3 full-time employees and has developed an event staff to assist with larger, award-winning events throughout the season. Key Signature Entertainment was chosen as the 2018 Service Provider of the Year by the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority. This honor was voted on by key decision-makers in Charlotte’s hospitality and events industry.
Early in his career, Brandon realized that event professionals and musicians speak a different language. He noticed that both were trying to achieve the same results, but just went about the process differently. He built Key Signature Entertainment with the goal of bridging that communication gap so that both musicians and event professionals could produce successful events safely, effectively and efficiently.
Services offered by Key Signature Entertainment include research, vetting, concert production, and band booking for live, hybrid and virtual events. Our specialty is taking your ideas and creating a fun live music experience for both you and your guests to enjoy.
Key Signature Entertainment is a company of musicians who book musicians. Our motto is “Good People, Good Music.” We understand that we are in the people business first and the music business second. We’ve created an easy process to find, secure, and contract the right entertainment for your event. We understand that it can be difficult to know if the live entertainment you’re hiring is both talented and professional, so let us use our expertise in music and people to secure the right fit for your event.
Call us at (704) 568-1968 or go to the “how to book” page to fill out the form, and we’ll have a representative contact you to help find, select and secure the right entertainment for your event.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement
Key Signature Entertainment’s mission is to be the full-service live music and entertainment resource for event professionals by building relationships and connecting them to great talent.

Our mission and motto can only be achieved by recognizing and accepting that our differences create the strong relationships that connect the good people who work with us. It is our goal to continue to represent a diverse roster of talent and clients by having open conversations and listening to the concerns and needs of our KSE family.
Meet The Team
Brandon R. Crumpton
President | CFO | Founder
Brandon founded Key Signature Entertainment in 2009 with a vision to connect people through live music while supporting talented artists in making a living doing what they love. A classically trained singer and lifelong music enthusiast, he understands the artist’s perspective firsthand. Though he prefers to be behind the music and behind the scenes, he still enjoys sharing his gift by singing baritone and bass in his local church choir on Sundays.
Over the years, Brandon has guided Key Signature’s growth into three divisions—Entertainment, Weddings, and Production—while keeping relationships at the center of the company’s work. His background as both a performer and respected industry professional gives him a rare perspective, helping him advocate for artists while also meeting client needs with care and precision. A South Carolina native, Brandon grew up with the belief that business is built on relationships—an approach that continues to shape his leadership style and the culture of Key Signature. He leads with dedication, responsibility, and gratitude for the people who make the work possible.
Outside of work, Brandon enjoys yoga in the morning, good television in the evening, and short getaways with his wife. While it’s hard for him to fully step away, he admits more travel is in his future. Work remains a constant driver, and his favorite topic is still business—especially with a glass of bourbon in hand.
Rosy Crumpton
Vice President of Booking & Operations | Entertainment Specialist
Rosy Crumpton is no stranger to Key Signature. In fact she’s been there from the beginning when Brandon was coming up with names for the company on a note pad. Rosy’s background in quality management, operating procedures, and sales makes her an essential part of the Key Signature team. Rosy is the first in the office everyday and the last to leave, because she doesn’t like to leave anything unfinished. Quick responses and attention to detail are what you’re going to get from Rosy.
When Rosy has free time, she enjoys walks outside, reading, and a glass of wine with friends. She’s a cat mama and adores cuddling with her fur babies Arya and Addy. Rosy is one of almost a dozen siblings and family is a huge part of who she is. There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for the people she cares about.
Rosy has watched Key Signature evolve and grow over the last 16 years. She has been by Brandon’s side in the event industry for almost 20 years. She realized that Key Signature was becoming too much of a heavy lift for one person. She joined the team to share the load and keep pushing our company forward.
Tius E. Ragan-Johnson
Digital Content & Artist Relations Manager
Tius Ragan-Johnson has been a member of the Key Signature family since 2018. He loves rock & roll guitar, and plays in the Charlotte-based rock band Late Night Special. The first thing you’ll probably notice about Tius is his hair, followed by his genuine demeanor and personality. You will also notice that he dresses like he owns a motorcycle, but steps proudly out of his compact car wearing cowboy boots and a bolo tie. Tius is the most honest person you’ll ever meet. It’s a big reason of why he became such a vital part of Key Signature’s artist and marketing management.
In addition to being a talented musician, Tius moonlights as a fisherman. When he isn’t splitting time between going to local shows and playing with the band, dropping a line at the river for a few hours is his oasis. Tius also loves to cook, and enjoys trying new things at restaurants. We can always count on him to finish off the leftovers if there are any on the table. You also won’t have to twist his arm for him to join you for bottomless mimosas at a brunch buffet either.
Tius’s role in the office is that of auditor and creative thinker. He listens intently and when he does finally speak you know whatever comes out will be gold. His integrity and honesty are admirable, and we are lucky to have him on the KSE team!
Sarah Milne
Digital Content & Communications Manager
Sarah Milne joined Key Signature’s music industry internship program in the fall of 2024 as a Johnson & Wales University student-athlete. After graduating summa cum laude from JWU the following spring, she decided to stay and was hired as Digital Content & Communications Manager. If you’ve taken a look at Key Signature’s social media pages since then, you’ve likely already seen her creative eye for content design at work!
Quite a few things about Sarah make her stand out in our team. For one, she’s Boston born and bred! To be honest, there have never been this many Dunkin’ Donuts products in our office at one time, probably ever. Sarah is also the only team member to play a league sport after college, continuing her soccer career with the Charlotte Eagles after leaving JWU (though she’s currently a free agent).
Despite these deep infatuations with Munchkins and soccer, one thing about Sarah stands out above the rest…her obsession with award-winning English singer-songwriter and multimillionaire Ed Sheeran. She’s seen Ed perform at least 3 times (that he knows of), but would also love to work with his team one day. Along with her ability to churn out social media gold like it’s her job (it is), these unique qualities make Sarah fit right into our team here at Key Signature Entertainment.
Fletcher Luna
Operations Assistant
Fletcher’s connection to Key Signature goes back to the company’s early years.
In the company’s early beginnings, Fletcher worked onsite as part of the event team, managing stages, driving golf carts, keeping acts on schedule, and making sure both artists and clients had everything they needed on event day.
After several years away, including a cross-country move, Fletcher has returned to Key Signature in a new capacity as Operations Assistant. As Rosy’s sibling and Brandon’s in-law, they’ve supported the company’s growth from the sidelines for years and are proud to now play an active role behind the scenes. Their journey from onsite event support to operations reflects both their dedication and the family spirit at the heart of Key Signature.
Fletcher approaches their work with consistency, care, and an auditor’s eye for detail, ensuring every piece is in its place. They prepare and manage contracts, share event details with bands, follow up with clients to confirm everything went as planned, and helps keep our systems accurate and up to date.
With a proactive nature, meticulous attention to detail, and love of structure, Fletcher ensures that nothing slips through the cracks. Their steady support on the administrative side provides the foundation for every performance and event to shine.
Outside of work, Fletcher is known for their adventurous spirit. From cross-country travels complete with scenic photo updates sent to Rosy and Brandon, to playful afternoons with baby goats, Fletcher finds joy in new experiences. They also enjoy reading, crocheting, listening to music, and tackling the New York Times word games daily in a family group thread. Add to that their passion for veganism, tattoos and piercings as forms of self-expression, and a love of organizing just about anything, you’ll find Fletcher brings creativity, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything they do. Those qualities make them not only an essential team member but also a valued part of the Key Signature family.
