Hanson Joins Rosebud

Eric Hanson has joined The Rosebud Agency as its new booking agent for the Northeast and Southeast U.S., after serving as artistic director of Yoshi’s in San Francisco.

Hanson has headed two boutique agencies, repping artists including Nina Simone, Evan Dando, The Yellowjackets and World Saxophone Quartet.

Hanson spent seven years with Ted Kurland Associates in Boston.

It’s a homecoming for Hanson, who served as a Rosebud management associate in 1996.

He will book Rosebud’s eclectic roster including Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Charlie Watts, Allen Toussaint, Bettye LaVette, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mavis Staples, and The Blind Boys of Alabama.
