Jake Schneider

Jake Schneider, a booking agent from Madison House Inc and a talent buyer for Michigan's ROTHBURY Festival, started in the music business booking concerts independently in Iowa City and also for the University of Iowa's S.C.O.P.E. Productions. After five years promoting shows, he teamed up with Madison House Inc and began working as a booking agent in their Boulder, CO office. His current roster of 20+ acts includes Bassnectar, Lotus, Pnuma Trio, DJ Rekha, Kraak & Smaak, Lyrics Born, Yard Dogs Road Show, and Rachel Goodrich.

As Madison House Presents began to expand their festival division, Jake began booking talent on such large-scale events as The String Cheese Incident's Big Summer Classic and then in the 2008, he worked on booking and programming for the inaugural ROTHBURY Festival.  When ROTHBURY returned in 2009, Jake was integral in pulling together the eclectic lineup that included artists from the folk roots of Bob Dylan and The String Cheese Incident to indie rockers Broken Social Scene and The Cold War Kids to some of the the hottest DJ acts on the circuit like MSTRKRFT and Chromeo.

In his spare time, Jake is an avid fantasy, sci-fi and comic book geek, and singlehandedly might be keeping his local comic book store in business.
