September 29, 2021/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Fred Hansen

Reliant Talent is launching a jazz division headed by NYC-based agency veteran Fred Hansen.

Hansen has over three and a half decades of experience representing Jazz, R&B, and Adult Contemporary artists, and has worked with artists to develop long-term growth through bookings at festivals, PACS, theaters, and clubs worldwide.

Before joining Reliant Talent Agency, Hansen worked at APA, CEG, Artists & Audience, and Pyramid Entertainment. He can be reached at fhansen@relianttalent.com.

“I am excited to be working with the team of professionals at Reliant and focus on connecting our artists with their loyal and passionate fans,” Hansen shares. “In addition to traditional venues, the jazz market has seen tremendous growth in destination festivals, cruises, and artist-curated events.”

Headquartered in Nashville, Reliant Talent is a boutique agency built on artist booking and representation while guiding strategic, long-term growth for artists. Current clients include Take 6, Jeff Lorber, Norman Brown, Gerald Albright, Mindi Abair, Jonathan Butler, Kirk Whalum, Peter White, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot, and the Average White Band.
