Fan Asylum has been managing and coordinating fan club programs for some of the entertainment industry's hottest legends and stars. Our current client roster reads like a virtual Who's Who of popular music -- Maroon 5, Melissa Etheridge, Whitney Houston, Michael Bolton and Dave Koz. -- all of whom rely upon Fan Asylum for dependable execution of their fan club services. These musicians sought the services of Fan Asylum because of our reputation for providing unequaled and exciting fan club services, in particular, preferred fan club seating at headlining concerts, exclusive fan club travel package excursions, custom collectable merchandise.

Fan Asylum first opened its doors in 1984 with four employees, three computers, a stack of fan mail and one band. These days, Fan Asylum delivers worldwide service, which plays an integral part in the overall success of our many clients. We are an organization born out of one man's passion for music. At an early age, Fan Asylum's president and founder, Tim McQuaid, attended his first rock concert and became so fascinated by the powerful force of the live performance and the strong connection between the performer and the audience that he was soon attending any and every concert he could.

Tim became a major fan of all music captivated by the near religious experience created by great artists and their loyal fans. He began his actual career in the entertainment business at the San Francisco-based management and production company, Nightmare Productions. During his time at Nightmare, the company's chief client was the band Journey -- one of the biggest rock acts at the time. Tim immersed himself in every aspect of the music business from merchandising and promotions to art production -- he even "teched" at some Journey shows. In addition to all of his other responsibilities, Tim took a special interest in the inner workings of the Journey Fan Club, eventually taking it over entirely. In just one year, fan club enrollment had grown from a mere 800 members to over 20,000, becoming the model program for Fan Asylum's current client roster.


Fan Asylum has provided fan services for many artists. Today, Fan Asylum represents a great many artists in a great many ways. In recent years, traditional delivery mediums like printed newsletters have been giving way to the instantaneous delivery of the Internet.

This started close to the birth of the World Wide Web with the October '95 launch of the friends of janet Web site for Janet Jackson, followed immediately by the November '95 launch Melissa Etheridge Information Network site. Now, all of the artists we represent have Web sites through which they and their fans communicate.

Fan Asylum exists solely because we understand the importance and value of each fan. This translates into continually creating a unique and exciting connection between the fan and the artist. We report the latest breaking news on our clients via the artists' Web sites and email distributions; we offer members preferred fan club seating at concerts, we offer unique opportunities to join us on travel package excursions to see the artists in exciting destinations worldwide; and we offer more than tour swag by producing high quality custom merchandise that fans and collectors seek. In all our efforts, Fan Asylum works to uphold our standard of professional, business-oriented service that has established us as a viable, creative organization, setting the industry standard for the past twenty years.
