Ken Madson and J.T. Harden have launched F3 Entertainment, a multifaceted artist management and television development/production company. Madson will oversee the artist management division as president, while Harden will oversee the television production and development division as president.
Madson recently exited his post as president of Average Joes Management. Madson started his career as a manager at Parallel Entertainment in 2004, and joined Average Joes in 2009 as a partner helping to building the careers of Colt Ford, Brantley Gilbert and Dee Jay Silver.
“The last four years have been extremely exciting and memorable and I enjoyed being part of the Average Joes team,” says Madson. “F3 Entertainment was the next obvious step for my career and I am thrilled to reignite ideas and build this company with J.T. We have exciting opportunities on the horizon that span a variety of entertainment platforms.”
Harden, producer and star of Pursuit Channel’s Hard Core Hunting T.V., has helped bring country music and hunting together and stated, “The outdoor industry has experienced a recent boom in popular culture. I’m excited to further integrate country musicians in to the outdoor world as well as expand production to projects for the mainstream.”
