FornabaioVoss Events is a leading nightlife, promotion and special event company in New York. Dubbed by the Village Voice’s Michael Musto as “New York Nightlife on the Rebound” and by TimeOut Magazine as “finally a new reason to go out,” FV Events has revolutionized the way gay New York parties with their weekly nightlife offerings, special events and live production.
The Company’s weekly offerings dominate New York weekends with the popular Rockit Fridays and Club 57 Saturdays, each drawing well over 1000 nightly guests. Club 57, acclaimed by Next Magazine to have “done the seemingly impossible and resurrect the gay dance party,” is known around the globe for its world class DJs and celebrity performances.
Superstar live production has become a signature of FornabaioVoss events, consistently delivering top-notch entertainment including stars such as Adam Lambert, Chelsea Handler, Deborah Cox, Fergie, Janice Dickinson, Kelis, Kelly Rowland, Ke$ha, Kylie Minogue, Lil’ Kim, and Olivia Newton-John.
FV Events has proudly produced a number of socially conscious events including various events benefiting GLAAD, The Trevor Project, GMHC, and the LGBT Community Center.
The duo behind FV Events, better known as Brandon Voss and Tony Fornabaio, come from a unique set of complementary backgrounds. Brandon, a Florida native, has been in NYC since 2000. Though he has a background in finance, working several years as an investment banker, he spent much of his time in college and graduate school moonlighting as a bartender and promoter at hot spots including Bowery Bar, G, Splash, XL and Avalon. Tony Fornabaio, previously worked as a successful interior designer and has been a longtime veteran of the gay club world. In the ’90s he worked with Rande Gerber of Whiskey and promoted parties at various clubs in New York and Miami, also working as a doorman at straight clubs and eventually hosting gay nights, including one at Glass in Chelsea.
With much on the horizon, including the opening of their very own seven night a week nightclub in fall 2011, the FornabaioVoss team looks forward to continuing to reinvent New York nightlife by delivering the very best in creative entertainment.
