Black River Entertainment CEO Gordon Kerr has announced the signing of Jacob Davis to the Black River Records artist roster.

One month from the day Davis signed his deal with Black River Publishing (on May 10), the singer-songwriter held a private fan club party at Nashville’s Sound Stage studios, where he was interrupted by a fan with a special gift. While Kerr was introducing Davis, the fan insisted Kerr give a gift-wrapped box to the singer-songwriter. Inside was a recording contract with Black River Entertainment, which Davis signed in front of his fan club members.

“I was absolutely thrilled to be part of this moment with Jacob!” said Kerr. “We know there is a lot of hard work ahead of us, but honestly, this is going to be fun!”

“I’ve worked hard for some time now to find the right team, with the right label, and I’m honored to now be able to call Black River Entertainment my home,” said Davis.
