Good Vibes M.I., founded by James Calmese Jr., is a live entertainment and event promotion brand rooted in culture, creativity, and community. Active in the industry since 2018, James has built a powerful presence as a talent buyer, promoter, and venue operator, recently securing his own dive bar venue to expand opportunities for live performances. His primary focus includes hip-hop, rap, R&B, and blues, though his new space allows for a broader range of inclusive events, genres, and creative experiences.
Recognized as a proficient-level professional, James brings strong industry knowledge, organization, and vision to every production. He has successfully brought major artists to the Quincy area, including Montana of 300, Kirko Bangz, Hurricane Wisdom, and Dizzy Wright. Through Good Vibes M.I., James creates memorable moments for his community while strengthening the local entertainment ecosystem.
His mission is to provide more opportunities for overlooked and unseen creatives, giving them a stage, a voice, and a space to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
