Parallel Entertainment Adds Manager Marc Rucker

Manager Marc Rucker and new artist Ryan Beaver have joined Parallel Entertainment Nashville.

Rucker comes to Parallel Entertainment from Crush Music where he worked with John Grady to manage Ashley Monroe, Striking Matches and Ryan Beaver. Prior to that, he was at Huskins-Harris Business Management working with Chris Young, Jerrod Niemann and Frankie Ballard. Rucker is also a founding board member of Young Entertainment Professionals (YEP).

Beaver, who was named one of Rolling Stone‘s artists to watch this fall, joins the Parallel team for management representation. Beaver’s first single, “Dark,” will be featured on his upcoming album, Rx, set for an early 2016 release.

“The combination of Parallel’s all-encompassing knowledge of the entertainment industry coupled with my experience will provide a strong foundation for the new Nashville home of Parallel Entertainment,” says Rucker. “Our focus in Nashville will be specifically on musical artists and growing the careers of those who are both new and established. I’m excited to be working along side some of the best in the business in JP, Tim Hunze and Hannah Showmaker Wilson.”

“We are very excited to have Marc be a part of our family. He is a really great addition to the Parallel team and we look forward to our future together,” says J.P. Williams, CEO of Parallel Entertainment.
