Artist International Management’s Steve Green Dies; Company Repped Jerry Lee Lewis, Percy Sledge, The Ventures

Artist International Management is paying tribute following the loss of agency president Steven Allan Green, described as a music industry entrepreneur, father and grandfather died Jan. 9 after battling Alzheimer’s.

“Steven was known not only for his entrepreneurial spirit but also for his unmistakable personality which was driven, witty, and fearless,” the statement reads. “He leaves behind a family who will miss him dearly as well as lifetime colleagues, and artists whose lives he touched. While battling Alzheimer’s disease, Mark Lyman and Janice Green had been overseeing the agency which will continue forward under their leadership into the future.”

Artist International Management has represented artists including Jerry Lee Lewis, Percy Sledge, The Ventures, as well as Sly and the Family Stone. Green began as a booking agent at 22 years old in New York, soon opening his own agency and booking clubs throughout Long Island, where he was raised. In 1984, he married Janice, his partner in both business and life. With longtime business partner Mark Lyman, who joined them in 1992, they represented artists including Little River Band, Molly Hatchet, Dr Hook, Kansas, Percy Sledge, Bachman, Turner, Overdrive, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others.

“Steve’s Agency, Artists International Management always put Little River Band’s tour dates at the top of their agenda,” Wayne Nelson of Little River Band said in the statement. “Since 1996, Steve and AIM have kept the band on the road, sometimes for over 100 shows per year. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace Mr. Green!!”
