About Festival Producer, Vive Le Rock Productions Rockabillaque Florida is produced by Simon Cantlon of Vive Le Rock Productions, in partnership with the Seminole Casino. The event is a unique take on the original Rockabillaque festival, now in its 10th year in Charleston, South Carolina, where it has grown to be the biggest event of its kind in the Carolinas. After more than 20 years of working in the entertainment industry including television, radio and record labels, primarily in digital media and marketing for shows such as American Idol, recording artists such as Carrie Underwood and Elvis Presley Enterprises, and networks including Showtime and Fox plus an Emmy Nomination for his work on the TV Show “Dexter,” Cantlon envisioned a new career route and in 2010 established Vive Le Rock Productions. Since then, Cantlon has created and produced numerous festivals and collaborated with a variety of business entities in branding, multi-media, marketing and more. Cantlon has honed his years of experience to develop and produce Rockabillaque Florida attracting people from all over the map to celebrate all things mid-century.
