Exile Joins Webster Public Relations

Exile has joined the roster of publicity firm Webster Public Relations.

“How many bands with the original members have been around as long as Exile has? Not many,” says Webster Public Relations president Kirt Webster. “Getting the opportunity to represent and work with this group of guys is exciting. Their music is timeless, their attitude towards the business is still full of excitement, and they still sound amazing.”

Founded in Richmond, Ky., in 1963, Exile, recently celebrated 50 years in the music industry. The band found success in 1978 with the hit “Kiss You All Over,” which sold in excess of five-million singles, and haven’t slowed down since. Exile’s achievements include nine consecutive No. 1 singles with tunes such as “I Don’t Want To Be A Memory,” and “Give Me One More Chance.” Exile has sold over 11 million albums and accumulated 13 award nominations from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.
