From Benny Brown on down, this is home to me,” said Gordon.

“Caitlyn surely has worked hard for this chance…reminds me of myself back in the day! I know I can speak for the entire team…we are excited to see her grow in the company and to have her in the trenches with us,” said Leymon.

G&N Entertainment Signs On To Manage Sammy Sadler

Sammy Sadler

G&N Entertainment has signed on to exclusively manage the career of artist Sammy Sadler. G&N will provide career and brand management, including giving direction and oversight in support of the re-launch of Sadler’s career and his upcoming Takin’ The Country Back Tour in 2015.

Sadler is also set to release a biography, titled Murder on Music Row, along with two new albums. Two decades ago, Sadler had just turned 21 and was climbing the charts when the now infamous “Murder on Music Row” took place. The March 1989 incident involved the shootings of then Cashbox Magazine chart editor Kevin Hughes and Sadler. The incident left Hughes dead and Sadler injured.

On Sept. 25, 2003, jurors convicted Richard D’Antonio of the murder of Hughes and of assault with intent to commit second-degree murder for the attack on Sadler.
