Skyline Music Open LA Office

Skyline Music has opened a Los Angeles office in Sherman Oaks. Skyline’s eclectic roster of exclusive clients includes George Winston, Solomon Burke, Victor Wooten, Nancy Sinatra, Roger McGuinn and 25 others. The company, which was founded in 1985, will also continue to operate four offices on the East Coast.

Company president Bruce Houghton will be heading the LA outpost bringing Skyline’s aggressive approach to more West Coast based clients. “With six experienced agents plus support staff and only thirty clients, we have one of the lowest agent to artist ratios in the industry. This allows us to offer a more personalized and targeted approach than most of our competitors,” states Houghton.

“We also have a unique performing arts team and a new symphony division which provides many of our clients work in this very lucrative market,” he continues. “Arts venues are no longer simply about classical music and fine arts, and are increasingly becoming the venue of choice for adult audiences seeking all kinds of entertainment.”

GRAMMY WINNING SAXOPHONIST JEFF COFFIN ADDED TO SKYLINE AGENCY AND MADISON HOUSE MANAGEMENT ROSTERS

THE PRESS RELEASE: Madison House Inc. is proud to announce the addition of Flecktones band member and Grammy Award winning saxophonist Jeff Coffin to their eclectic management roster. Skyline Music will be joining on as Jeff’s new booking agency as Compass Records releases Jeff’s latest solo album Bloom on Feb 1, 2005.

Jeff Coffin has been a member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones since 1997, astounding audiences nightly with blazing chops and melodic sensitivity. Jeff’s solo band, Mu’tet, is a funky ensemble influenced and inspired by New Orleans second line, Jazz, Indian and African music, yet creates musical sensibilities that will awe audiences just as Jeff has done in Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

The combination of Madison House management, Skyline Music as a booking agency and Compass Records all supporting Jeff’s solo career will allow Jeff Coffin and Mu’tet to truly expand their fan base. “We are proud to bring Jeff Coffin and his band the Mu'tet into the Madison House family,” said manager Christine Stauder. "We believe that Jeff is an artist we can develop and is aligned with our philosophy of unique and innovative management." Madison House’s approach to the business of music comes from their dedication to the great musicians they promote, and attention to the needs of both their artists and the fans. Madison House’s forte is their truly innovative techniques and willingness to step outside the traditional elements of band management. Jeff joins a management roster that includes The String Cheese Incident, Keller Williams, Mofro, Augie March and The Dresden Dolls.
