He's worked with artists like David Bowie, David Byrne, Luna, Natalie Merchant and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. He currently manages Keeley Forsyth, Joe Jackson, Lloyd Cole, Helmet, Joe Henry and the instinctive theatrical brilliance of Hugh Laurie through his management company, [**Maine Road**](https://maineroadmanagement.com/).
