Lincoln Foley Schofield got into the concert business by accident. Originally from Syracuse, he moved to New York City from Key West in 2006 to be a working musician. Hand surgery took him out of performing for several months, leading him to an online marketing job for SOB’s - a legendary world music venue. This happy accident set in motion a career that would produce thousands of concerts and events including work with dozens of A-list artists, 250k+ tickets sold and over $4 million in ticket sales. 

Because of his progress with online marketing, MTV hired Lincoln to work in the marketing department part time while still at SOB’s. Originally he was hired to promote the 2007 Woody Awards for MTVu, but was kept on to work on 4 different shows over the next 3 years, including writing the sex questions for Dr. Ruth’s show, SexCred.

In the late summer of 2012, Lincoln was introduced to Steve Walter, owner of The Cutting Room and co-owner Chris Noth, the ‘Mr. Big’ actor from Sex and the City. They were getting ready to re-open the venue in an extraordinary new space on 32nd Street and offered Lincoln the Booking Manager position. In the first 3 months, Lincoln landed separate Billy Joel, Zac Brown and Emmylou Harris concerts in the intimate venue. Over the next 3 years Lincoln booked and produced a 3 night run with Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones, a powerful Pete Seeger concert that was one of his last performances, an evening with Rodriguez after his documentary “Searching For Sugarman” won the Oscar, and a live SiriusXM broadcast with Howard Stern that included performances by Pink, Tony Bennett, Melissa Etheridge, Idina Menzel, Billy Joel and Boyz 2 Men.

Elephess specializes in booking, marketing, management and content for artists, venues, and brands. Lincoln continues to work with the top venues in New York City, and in 2019 will launch Forever Wild, an artist retreat in Upstate NY with a full service recording studio set in a beautiful country landscape surrounded by farms and nature.
