The Intrepid Artists International team are the definition of diligent. No matter the artist they are looking after, the team’s efforts are consistently proactive. Whether playing to larger houses, or small, each client can count on a partner that gets the job done. Rick Booth leads a consortium of strategic minds that always have the long-term picture in mind, and in a universe somewhat void of artist development, Intrepid exhibits a commitment to seeing those on the roster grow in turn benefitting all parties.

As Walter Trout’s long time producer, I’ve gotten to know Rick Booth quite well over the years. Rick and his team at Intrepid have done an incredible job helping to establish Walter as one of the preeminent artists in the Blues genre and I’m seeing them now lay the same ground work for another artist I work with, Sugaray Rayford. A great booking agency is the lynchpin of any artist’s team. Not only is Intrepid extremely savvy, diligent and hard working but they care deeply about the people on their roster and treat them like family. I’m proud to work with Rick and his team and look forward to developing our partnership together over time. Eric Corne – Forty Below Records

I am never disappointed in Rick’s artists. Steve Gumble – Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Telluride Jazz Festival, Durango Blues Train
