Evergreen Music Network

What Evergreen Music Network does

Evergreen Music Network Inc. is a privately-held entertainment talent agency headquartered in North Branch, Minnesota that books live musicians and tribute acts for venues, fairs, festivals, theaters, casinos, corporate events, fundraisers, and other events. Founded in 2014 by Roger Anderson, the company operates as a commissioned booking agent working through a small team of four personnel (CEO Roger Anderson, two agents Mark Larsen and Jim Bergeron, and VP Pegeen) who manage booking requests submitted via a downloadable National Offer Form, phone, and email. The agency's underlying 'product' is a curated roster of over 20 professional acts spanning tribute bands (including Free Fallin for Tom Petty, Strutter for KISS, Crown Jewels for Queen, Rolling Thunder for AC/DC, Rubber Soul for The Beatles, The Super Tramps for Supertramp, and Captain Fantastic for Elton John) alongside original artists such as Sena Ehrhardt (Blind Pig Records), Shannon Curfman, Cole Allen, and Nashville country artist Ben Johnson.

The business model is professional-services commission-based: the agency earns fees on each artist booking it facilitates, with pricing negotiated per event. There is no disclosed SaaS, software, or platform layer — distribution is purely direct-agent sales through a single Minnesota office, augmented by industry conference attendance (Billboard Live Touring Conference, SXSW, Pollstar Live) and personal memberships in NARAS, IAFE, MFCF, IEBA, Blues Foundation, and ASCAP. The company markets via its Squarespace-hosted website, artist-specific social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, BandsInTown), and contact-driven outbound by its agents.

Customer segments are horizontal across event types: talent buyers at state and county fairs, festival organizers, historic theater operators, casino entertainment bookers, corporate event planners, and fundraiser coordinators. The agency has no external institutional investment, no disclosed revenue figures, no subsidiaries, and no partnerships or technology integrations documented in available sources. Evergreen Music Network competes in the legacy live-entertainment booking segment primarily through the depth of its roster, agent relationships, and touring track record of individual acts rather than through technology or scale advantages.
