RareSpark Media Group, Inc. has signed an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with chart-topping songwriter, Dave Turnbull.

Turnbull joins the company’s growing roster with multiple No. 1 songs to his credit, including “The Boys of Fall” (Kenny Chesney), “Lucky Man” (Montgomery Gentry), “Old Alabama” (Brad Paisley), and “Anything Like Me” (Brad Paisley), as well as hits such as “Outskirts of Heaven” (Craig Campbell), “Arlington” (Trace Adkins), and “The More I Drink” (Blake Shelton). He has also had songs recorded by artists including Gary Allan, Mark Chesnutt, Sheryl Crow, Craig Morgan, Jake Owen, Jordan Brooker, and Mitch Rossell.

“Dave Turnbull is a songwriter of the highest caliber, and we are so honored that he has decided to call RareSpark his new publishing home,” says Suzanne Strickland, founder and CEO of RareSpark Media Group. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to launch this new chapter with him, and look forward to sharing many more great songs to come.”

Adds RareSpark General Manager/Vice President Scot Sherrod, “I’ve watched Dave’s career grow over the years, and I look forward to getting into the trenches with him through this new partnership.”

“I’m beyond excited to be signing with RareSpark,” says Turnbull. “They are clearly true song people, who really care about the strong catalog they continue to build. Their positivity is contagious, and I can’t think of a more ideal team to work with to further my career.”

Turnbull joins a publishing roster that currently includes Jason Afable, Victoria Banks, Walker Hayes, and Brian Layson.
