Bernie Cahill

Bernie Cahill’s got his hands in just about everything cool in the entertainment world. He’s not just the guy behind Dead & Company packing stadiums like Wrigley Field—actually breaking attendance records in the process—but he’s also the dude making sure The Lumineers’ tours are “climate positive.” That’s not just a buzzword either; they literally offset more than their entire carbon footprint, including every fan’s trip to the show. Cahill manages a seriously stacked roster, from legends like Bobby Weir and Dwight Yoakam to new-gen favorites like Empire of the Sun and Alec Benjamin. The man even has his fingerprints all over the film and TV world, repping heavyweights like Ken Watanabe and David Alan Grier while producing a pile of new projects for top networks. He’s not all about the glitz, though. Cahill’s deep into activism, too, working with organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and launching the Activist Foundation to boost grassroots efforts and help folks make real change. Oh, and he’s got a seat at the table of The Recording Academy’s LA Chapter, so he’s literally shaping the music industry from the inside. Whether it’s wrangling prime-time TV hours for All Elite Wrestling or pushing for social justice through podcasts and documentaries, Cahill’s always hustling—usually behind the scenes, but you can bet he’s steering the ship.
