Matthew Perryman Jones has signed for booking representation with Elite Talent Agency.
“Matthew Perryman Jones is one of the most captivating artists out there right now,” says Keith Richards, Indie Agent at Elite Talent Agency. “It’s difficult not to be drawn to what he is doing. There is a story being tole with him and we are just excited to help get that story out to the masses.”
Lanny West, Matthew’s manager, explains, “It is all about team building and working with forward thinking partners. We were searching for an Agency Partner–not a Booking Agent. Elite Talent brings this very strong approach to tour strategy and partnership that we have been searching for.”

Sony/ATV Music Publishing  signed their newest artist, Chase Rice.

“Chase is a double threat as both a songwriter and an artist,” said Jacob Fain, Director of A&R for Sony/ATV.  “It’s always a privilege when you get to work with someone who is accomplished in both regards and we couldn’t be more excited about it.”

 “It’s a huge step for me to sign with such a great publisher. Following the footsteps of Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney just gives me more motivation to make sure I’m up there with those names soon, and Sony/ATV is the place to do it,” said Rice.
