Powerhouse artist managers buy into local firm

Front Line Management, the artist representation firm run by Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff, has acquired a stake in Denise Stiff’s DS Management, which has worked with Alison Krauss and Union Station for more than two decades. For its part, Front Line represents The Eagles, Aerosmith and Jimmy Buffett, among others.

Hmmm, some interesting possible duets there once Kraus tires of Robert Plant.
