SunFire Entertainment specializes in Texas radio promotion and marketing for the Texas Music artist. Most recently SFE has had the pleasure of achieving it’s 19th and 20th top 10 record on the Texas Music Chart with Jeff Allen's "Raised on Gettin' By,” and The Kyle Bennett Band's "Should've Listened." SFE also recently celebrated it's 3rd #1 with Jack Ingram's "Barefoot and Crazy."


SFE was founded in 2005 by young Texas entrepreneur Angela-Marie Lampton. Lampton holds a BBA in Music Business from Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. With seven years in the music business and a background in radio and publicity, Lampton continues to help grow artists careers with her hands-on, out-side the box, 90 mile-an-hour approach to business.


During SFE's almost 5 years, SFE's clients have graced the pages or covers of Best In Texas Magazine, Austin Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, and Country Weekly and have been heard all across Texas on great stations like Austin's KVET and Fort Worth's KFWR the Ranch. In addition, SFE has talent bought for the Waterloo Ice House and produced successful events like the No Wrist Bands Needed Showcase week during SXSW and Waterloo's 30 Bands in 30 Days celebration.
At SunFire Entertainment we believe that artists are not something you collect on a roster like you do matchbox cars in a shoe box. Each artist SFE works with they actually believe in - a sometimes strange concept in the dirty world of the music biz. So while SFE might not be the biggest firm around, it proudly stands behind the talent it represents and celebrates each success and milestone its artists achieve.
Angela-Marie Lampton is the proud owner of SunFire Entertainment, a music PR, Radio Promotion, Event and Marketing Company. Her clients have graced the pages of publications like Country Weekly, American Songwriter, the Austin Chronicle and the Dallas Morning News and have been heard on stations across the region from Austin’s KVET to Ft. Worth’s KFWR. Her radio promotion efforts have secured her clients 18 top 10 singles, including Jamie Richards’ #1 hit “Drive,” and Jack Ingram’s #1 singles, “That’s A Man,” and “Barefoot and Crazy” on the Texas Music Chart. Ingram’s single “Barefoot and Crazy” recently spent a record 12 weeks at #1 on the Texas Music Chart before being officially retired on August 17, 2009. He is only the third artist to have a song retired from the number 1 position.
In addition to serving great artists like Big Machine’s Ingram and Sunny Sweeney, and independent artists like Josh Abbott and Granger Smith, SunFire Entertainment broke new artist Rich O’Toole, securing him 4 top 10 singles off his freshman record, a feat no other new artist has accomplished. In 2006 SFE was the talent buyer for the Waterloo Ice House, booking entertainment and handling music imaging and branding for the historic restaurant group. Her efforts during SXSW 2006, produced the number one and number two sales days the Lamar Waterloo Ice House location has ever seen
in its 20 year history at the location. In celebration of their 30th year of business, SunFire Entertainment helped create and execute Waterloo’s largest feat yet, 30 Bands in 30 Days, raising over $7,600 for the Heath Alliance for Austin Musicians.
A Kansas City, Missouri native, Angela’s first stint in the music business was at Kansas City’s popular country station KBEQ Young Country Q104. After leaving the Midwest, Angela ventured to Nashville where she obtained her BBA in Music Business from Belmont University’s Mike Curb College of Music Business and Entertainment. While in Nashville, Angela interned or worked for various Music Row companies including Jerry Duncan Promotions, The Bazel Group, the Belmont Mansion and Mercury/ Lost Highway Records.
With nearly eight years in the music business and a vast background in radio and publicity, Lampton continues to help grow artists’ careers with her hands-on, out-side the box, 90 mile-an-hour approach to business.
