Brett Jones Signs Brandon Green

Songwriter and publisher Brett Jones (“If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “Crazy Town,” “That’s How Country Boys Roll”) has signed artist/writer Brandon Green to an exclusive publishing agreement with Jones’ Crazytown Productions.

Green, a Mississippi native, has built up a substantial following touring the Gulf Coast. He has already achieved notoriety by becoming the runner-up on Season 2 of CMT’s Can You Duet, and by being selected by Keith Urban as the winner of Guitar Center’s “Your Next Record with Keith Urban.” Following the Guitar Center competition, Green recorded songs with legendary producer Dann Huff and secured an opening spot on Urban’s 2011 tour.
