BNA Talent Signs Lopez And Tallant

"I traded in my Hollywood stilettos for some cowboy boots and headed over to Nashville. I'm loving this city," comments Patricia Lopez, a six-foot bilingual host nicknamed 'Longlegs.' "My alignment with BNA Talent Group is the perfect start to 2011."

BNA Talent Group, located on Music Row, continues to increase its footprint in country music programming with the announcement of its signing of TV and radio hosts Patricia Lopez and Shane Tallant. BNA Talent Group represents hosts, actors and recording artists for television, feature film and commercial representation.

Lopez recently made her country television debut hosting Great American Country’s “Late Shift” and “Holiday Moments Video Block,” and previously was the co-host on Rick Dees radio show from Los Angeles.

Tallant, an EMMY Award recipient, most notably is the host of HGTV’s ” Designed to Sell ” and recently was the co-host of Nashville Fox affiliate’s “Tennessee Mornings.” Tallant is also engaged to Autumn House of Capital Records.

"I plan on being in Nashville for a long time and working within a field that I have a passion for, country music. I think Josh and BNA Talent understand this goal and we make a great team," says Tallant, who currently appears in the feature film, Country Strong.

“By increasing our footprint in the country music industry, the spotlight will remain on our collection of hosts, actors and artists with Nashville connections in film, network and cable programing,” says BNA Talent Group owner and veteran agent, Josh Robbins. “The additions of Patricia Lopez and Shane Tallant continues that goal.”
