Madison House Inc.

What Madison House Inc. does

Madison House Inc. is a privately held talent agency and artist management company founded in 1996 and based in Boulder, Colorado. The firm provides two service lines: artist management (career development, contract negotiation, strategic planning) and booking services (coordinating live touring arrangements with external touring agencies). Its management operations center on direct representation of musicians through dedicated managers, with booking executed via a network of touring-agency partners including Dynamic Talent International, New Frontier Touring, Crossover Touring, and TKO.

The company has 51–100 employees and serves musicians and musical artists across the live music industry. Its publicly identified managed act is the jam band The String Cheese Incident, handled by manager Amanda Silecchio-Frederick; co-founder Nadia Prescher and the late partner Jesse Aratow (1958–2021) were the firm’s long-standing leadership. Madison House does not disclose pricing or fee structures; its revenue model is professional services (management and booking commissions), with terms negotiated individually per artist. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company; its brand is sustained through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook) and a Wix-hosted website. Distribution is relationship-based: direct artist representation, supplemented by regional touring-agency coordination channels.
