Candace Summers began her career in the music business after graduating from Ozark Christian College in Joplin MO, with a degree in elementary education, and a few hours shy of a music degree. After college, she began working for Ed Gerlach, who was a well-known society dance band leader in Houston, as his personal assistant ... soon, she was hiring sidemen for his popular dance orchestra, organizing music charts, and taking such good care of longtime Houston clients, that he made her his first full-time female booking agent. Under his careful mentoring, she learned contract negotiating skills for national artists, as well as important ethical guidelines for the entertainment booking industry. After 5 years with Gerlach Entertainment, she accepted a position with Danny Ward & Nancy Ames, national entertainment producers based in Houston, where she was able to become even more knowledgeable of the inner workings of event production. She spent 3 years with Ward & Ames, and then struck out on her own, to specialize in providing entertainment to event producers, as well as individual and corporate clients.
