[edit] History
Founded in 2004, the venture began as one music lover's vision of staging great live music in non-traditional settings, and his desire to share these concerts with friends and fans. Initially a series of intimate living room concerts, the Artists Den has expanded to include concerts across North America and Europe by some of today's most significant names in music – in venues as varied as an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, Christie’s auction house in London, a private Southampton beach house, and the diamond floor of Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue.[1][2][3]
