Core offering

Artists Den Entertainment is a music production company that curates and films intimate concerts by established artists in historic, architecturally significant, and unusual venues, then packages the performances into television and digital series. The company produces content for distribution across broadcast (PBS), streaming (Amazon Prime), digital (Variety.com), and theatrical (IMAX) channels, while integrating brand sponsorships into its production model.

Product overview

Artists Den Entertainment operates three distinct television and digital series products: Live from the Artists Den (the flagship TV music series featuring intimate concerts in historic venues, broadcast on PBS and other networks), Live from My Den (a digital series on Variety.com showcasing rising artists in their personal creative spaces), and Monumental (an Amazon Prime series pairing global superstars with iconic locations). The company also operates a General Admission Ticket Sweepstakes system for distributing free tickets to secret show tapings. Together, these products create once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences filmed for global television broadcast.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Vevo: Premium music video and live performance streaming platform owned by major labels. Comparable in distributing premium music video content to engaged audiences, though Vevo focuses on label-owned content rather than independent concert production.
• MTV Unplugged: Iconic music television series featuring acoustic and intimate artist performances originally on MTV. A historic incumbent in the intimate-performance TV concert space, with similar artist-access model but at vastly larger scale and owned by a major media conglomerate.
• Live Nation Entertainment: Global live entertainment conglomerate producing and promoting thousands of concerts annually. Provides scale context for the concert production business model but operates at vastly larger scale with venue ownership, ticketing, and artist management verticals.

Direct peers

• NPR Tiny Desk Concert: NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series films intimate artist performances in NPR's actual office workspace, distributed via digital video and broadcast. Highly comparable intimate-performance concert format with massive online viewership and a similar artist-driven, venue-anchored concept.
• Sofar Sounds: Sofar Sounds produces intimate, surprise-lineup concerts in unique non-traditional venues (living rooms, rooftops, galleries) in 70+ cities. Most directly comparable to Artists Den's secret-show model with historic venue curation, though Sofar operates at higher volume and lower production scale.
• Austin City Limits: Long-running PBS television music series presenting live performances by major artists, airing since 1976. Closest direct comparison as a public-television-anchored concert series with multi-decade catalog, A-list artist access, and similar broadcast-licensing revenue model.
• KEXP Live Sessions: KEXP produces in-studio live performance videos for emerging and established artists, distributed via YouTube with millions of monthly views. Comparable artist-curation model with digital-first distribution and similar fan-engagement community focus.

Emerging players

• Iconic Artists Group: Live event and concert production company producing premium music experiences and tours for legacy and current artists. Overlaps in premium concert production for marquee artists, though more focused on touring and large-scale productions versus Artists Den's intimate model.
• Boiler Room: Global online music broadcasting platform streaming DJ sets and live performances from intimate, often unusual venues. Comparable intimate-venue concert production model with strong digital community and brand partnerships, but skews electronic music.

Others

• Audacy (formerly Entercom): Major radio broadcaster producing live concert content and intimate performance programming distributed via broadcast and digital platforms. Functions as both a potential distribution partner and adjacent content producer in the live music media space.
