SMACKSongs has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Aaron Eshuis, exclusively administered by Kobalt.

Eshuis is an accomplished writer and producer from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who has racked up cuts by A Thousand Horses, Rascal Flatts, Joe Nichols, Kid Rock, Cole Swindell and more. Most recently, Eshuis produced Sony Records recording artist Ryan Hurd’s debut EP.

“Aaron is such a perfect fit for the SMACK family, it almost seems like he’s always been here,” said McAnally. “After years of admiring his production and songwriting, I feel honored that he would trust us with this next chapter.”

“SMACK is home to some of the kindest, most creative people I’ve ever met,” said Eshuis. “The passion and spirit of camaraderie in that building is inspiring, and I feel privileged to be a member of such a special group.”
