What HT Management does

HT Management operates as Hi Ho Silver Management, a Dutch sole proprietorship founded in 1998 by Jaap Wijn and based at Hovendsestraat 12, 5306 AK Brakel, Netherlands (VAT ID NL001701717B47, KvK 17108611). The company is a personal music management and booking agency that represents an editorial roster of approximately 30 bands and solo acts performing retro American roots music, including rock'n'roll, rockabilly, sixties, country, bluegrass, swing, and tribute formats (Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis). Its clients span festival organizers, theaters and concert halls, hospitality venues (pubs/cafes), broadcasters, and private and corporate event buyers across the Netherlands, with selective international touring exposure into Belgium, the UK, and the USA.

The agency's core offering is not a technology product but a curated booking service. Each act has a dedicated profile and contact form on the website hihosilver.nl, and bookings are handled directly by Jaap Wijn via website forms, phone (+31 6 2122 3034), and email ([email protected]). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are issued as all-in buyout sums (uitkoopsom) that bundle the performance with full tax withholding (inhoudingsplicht) and musician administration, providing clients with a single invoice. The company differentiates through curation rather than breadth, long tenure (most musicians on the roster for 10+ years), and complete administrative handling. Theater bookings for the Happy Days production are routed through channel partner ProActs Impresariaat.

HT Management is not a technology company and has no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI systems in evidence. Its growth path relies on expanding roster content and selective product experiments (original compositions, recorded albums, vinyl EPs, theatrical productions) rather than on software scalability. Marketing is conducted through the company's own website, monthly newsletter 'Hi Ho Hotnews', per-band Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube performances, and Spotify profiles, with earned media through premier Dutch venue and festival placements including Pinkpop, De Zwarte Cross, Paradiso Amsterdam, and Stadion De Kuip, and media exposure on NOS Radio 1 and RTL 4.
