James Keane

James Keane began playing guitar at age 10 and has been pursuing his passion to build a life around and in support of music ever since. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a Bachelors Degree in Telecommunications Arts, James pursued his passion for playing guitar by co-founding the band DubConscious. DubConscious toured full time, often over 100 shows per year, from 2002-2010. Through this experience, James not only knows what it means to be a touring musician, but also received a crash course in all aspects of band management, from logistics to licensing, contracts, management, accounting and much more. These lessons led James to a position as Stage Manager at Bonnaroo Music Festival, and as Business Manager of at Artistzen where he represents Rising Appalachia and more. James can relate to the music industry from the eye of the musician, able to identify with the struggles and triumphs of an artist. This unique perspective offers him a comprehensive understanding of the services he provides and an ability to exceed the expectations of those he works with.
