About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

The Rosebud Agency was founded by Mike Kappus in 1976 with the concept of delivering the best possible service to an intentionally limited number of very special artists. We're proud to be associated with artists whose music has transcended trends in an industry that thrives on them. Over the years, the company has grown to accommodate some of our artists' needs for management and the coordination of their record projects as well. It's a measure of their integrity that, of the Grammy eligible projects coordinated by Kappus and our management team, those projects have scored 13 Grammy nominations and four wins. At the same time, our artists have earned gold and platinum records from around the world without sacrificing the integrity of their music. In celebration of Rosebud's 31st year, we'd like to thank all of the musicians, fans and businesspersons who have helped support us along the way - we appreciate it.We represent the artists and packages listed for tour booking and, in some cases, for management as well. Here you will find tour information and current news on the artists' activities. Most of the artists have current tour plans and new dates are being booked daily.
