Spirit Music Nashville has signed artist/songwriter Tim Montana to an exclusive global publishing agreement, it was announced today (July 2) by Daniel Hill, President, Spirit Music Nashville.

Tim Montana and The Shrednecks are based in Nashville, where Montana co-wrote “This Beard Came Here to Party” with ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons. The song became an anthem for The Boston Red Sox during the 2013 World Series. Tim Montana and The Shrednecks have recently been tearing it up on the road, opening for Florida Georgia Line, Brantley Gilbert, Kid Rock, Montgomery Gentry and ZZ Top.

Montana’s first break came when David Letterman saw him perform and invited him to appear on the Late Show.

“Tim is one of the most resourceful talents I have known. He has already given back so generously to veterans with PTSD, and his career is just getting started,” said Hill. “We are proud to welcome Tim into the Spirit Music fold, and look forward to helping him take his music to the fans.”

“I’m very excited to be a part of the Spirit Music family,” said Montana. “Daniel, Billy Lynn and the entire Nashville group are talented publishers who are all about the song, and Spirit’s worldwide reach is something to be excited about. The care and attention they give to me and my music is what I dreamed of finding in a publisher.”

Spirit previously acquired Cal IV Entertainment, the StyleSonic catalog, contemporary Christian catalog West Main Music, a portion of Jason Ingram’s catalog, and signed songwriter Chris Wallin.
