Jacalyn Kane’s career as a socially progressive concert and special events producer began over twenty years ago. After joining the advance and scheduling team on Senator Kennedy’s 1980 run for President, at 19, she went on to produce the documentary, Kennedy '80, a case study in media and political use and abuse. From there she launched her career as a producer of benefits & special events. In 1986 she created the legendary Martha's Vineyard Peace Concert featuring The Band, Jesse Colin Young & Carly Simon. Ever since, Ms. Kane has focused her creative passions on producing; concerts with top name talent, large-scale music festivals, dynamic award shows, PSA’s and documentaries.
