Big Tractor Re-Signs Wade Kirby

Big Tractor Music has announced the re-signing of hit songwriter Wade Kirby. First signed to the company in 2004, Kirby worked with Big Tractor for three years before shifting to another  publisher, only to return after 8 months. His latest chart-topper is George Strait‘s No. 1 single, “I Saw God Today,” which garnered Grammy, ACM and CMA nominations. Kirby also co-wrote Joe Nichols‘ current single, “Believers.” He started his career as a road musician with acts including Ray Price and Earl Thomas Conley. Kirby’s songs have been recorded by George Strait, Gretchen Wilson, Darius Rucker, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bates, Chris Cagle, Erika Jo, Emerson Drive, Rodney Atkins, George Canyon, Rhett Akins, Jace Everett, Faith Hill, John Michael Montgomery, Pam Tillis, Neal McCoy, Brad Johner, Billy Currington, Craig Morgan and Jason Aldean.

“I couldn’t be happier to have Wade Kirby staying on board at Big Tractor,” says General Manager Jason Krupek. “Having a hard-working hit songwriter like Wade at the company assures Big Tractor an exciting opportunity for future growth and success.”
