Steven M. Robinson
Discovering at a young age his love for the business of music, Steve Robinson began producing concerts and promoting bands as a junior in high school. This continued as a hobby well after graduation. At the age of 21, he joined country music newcomer, Randy Travis, for his first cross-country tour. |
In 1995, when former Tennessee Governor (now US Senator) Lamar Alexander assembled the team for his Presidential campaign, Robinson was hired as Deputy Director for Advance, serving in that capacity for the next year.
Since becoming a consultant in 1996 and founding LogiCom, Robinson has worked with nine primary and general presidential campaigns, many Republican Governors, Senators, Congressmen, and for the 41st, 43rd and 45th U.S. Presidents.
His specialties include the logistical planning and execution of major events, whether national bus tours, corporate gatherings, political events or campaigns, or concerts featuring music headliners ranging from Bono to The Beach Boys.
He managed the Republican National Finance Committee's activities at the Republican National Convention in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 and at the Presidential Inaugural in 2001, 2005 and 2017. Clients for whom he has consulted are varied and include AFLAC, Beretta, America's pharmaceutical manufacturers (PhRMA), the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation, the NBA's Miami HEAT, the NHL's Nashville Predators, NASCAR's Cracker Barrel 500, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.
Robinson has produced hundreds of events in all 50 states and 13 countries in famed venues as varied as The White House and US Capitol, The Grand Ole Opry, Lincoln Center, Constitution Hall, Rockefeller Plaza and the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

In 1996, Robinson founded LogiCom Project Management, LLC, a public relations and production company, and serves as its Co-Director.
Steve Tolman has lived several lives in the entertainment business. A singer since childhood, Tolman's hobby became a career choice that led him to stages across the country and around the world.
While performing on the stage in Florida, the Acton, Massachusetts native was seen by Burt Reynolds and chosen as a founding member of the vocal group Indian River. After appearing in several theatrical productions, the act toured for nine years performing at State Fairs, arenas, and showrooms across the country. While with the group, Tolman also appeared on network television and in feature films. He was awarded a multi-platinum album award for his vocal contribution to the Garth Brooks' CD, "No Fences."
Turning his attentions to the business side of music, Tolman spent a year as manager/purchasing agent at The Burt Reynolds Theatre in Jupiter, FL. For the past twenty years, Tolman has specialized in Corporate Entertainment and Special Event Production, overseeing events of all sizes for an impressive list of national clients including American Airlines, IBM, Unisys, Shoney's, United Stationers, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Concentrating on Republican campaigns and causes, and corporate conferences and events, Tolman is known industry-wide for his keen attention to the customer's needs. Whether producing a small-town political rally or a professional sporting event on the world's stage, his thorough and professional approach has earned him the respect of current and past clients nationwide.
Long active in attempting to improve the industry and its representatives, Tolman is the immediate past president of The International Entertainment Buyers Association, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Nashville Association of Talent Directors. He also serves as a member of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce Entertainment Task Force charged with getting the business community involved with the music community.
In 2000, Tolman joined LogiCom, LLC, as Co-Director and oversees its Destination Management and Speakers divisions.
A music major, Tolman taught high school music before answering the call of the stage. After singing professionally in the northeast for years, he became the featured male vocalist at Walt Disney World where he remained until 1981.
With tens of thousands of miles behind him, LogiCom’s Roy Robinson most often finds himself in the jump seat of a 45 foot bus, mapping routes, managing logistics and liaising with clients, security, volunteers and principals. Over the last ten years, Robinson has served as Tour Director for multiple bus tours for LogiCom clients, whether in-state or nationwide. His expertise has served LogiCom well for clients ranging from The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association, the US Travel Association, TN Governor Bill Haslam, and the Tennessee Imagination Library.
