Does anyone have a couple of recommendations for a literary agent(s) who also handles music and the artist side of the biz. I've been searching for awhile without much success, it seems to be one or the other. Thanks so much.

I think agencies like William Morris, Creative Artists' Agency, and ICM (International Creative Management or something like that) have both literary agents and agents for actors and such.

Check larger literary agencies based in the LA area, they often cover various areas (screenplays, music etc.). Others may be affilliated with agencies in these other fields. However, decisions are made independently. The agency may love your literary work, but hate your music. So I don't know if you'll gain much by trying to find one "it slices, it dices" agency vs. going the traditional route.
Amy Rennert represent Kris Kristofferson and Jimmy Buffet amongst others and also handles general fiction.

Careful -- she handles their literary work, not their music. They have both published books. I think Hapy is looking for someone who handles a variety of entertainment media.
This is a start, thanks. Yes, I am looking for someone who handles both elements of entertainment.

Don't do this. Figure out where you're starting and look there; unless you're already a celebrity, as a general rule those agents who claim to do both literary and music work are effective at neither.
