Train Inks With WME

Train has signed with WME for exclusive representation. The agency will now represent the band in music, film, television, books, and endorsements. They continue to be managed by Crush Music.

Since the release of their debut in 1998, Train has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, more than 30 million tracks, with multiple Platinum/Gold albums, and three Grammy awards, two Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors.

Earlier this year, the band released their eighth studio album, A Girl, a Bottle, a Boat, on Columbia Records which spawned the lead single, “Play That Song,” hitting Top 5 on the iTunes chart, Top 10 at Hot AC radio, and charting at Adult Top 40. The band recently finished its 48-date North American tour.

The signing follows as several executives have exited CAA and joined WME’s Nashville office, including Scott Clayton, Matthew Morgan, Brandi Brammer, and Buster Phillips. The Train signing announcement furthers a bolstering to the company’s rock roster, with the recent addition of Kings of Leon.
