Evergreen Entertainment Launches Indie Management Model
Evergreen Entertainment, a management group focusing on independent artists, has launched in Nashville. Co-founded by Maria Herrera, who has seven years of experience as a publicist and artist development consultant, and John LeDew, who was a music booking agent and event manager for five years, Evergreen evolved to boost the careers of independent artists. The company’s mission is to provide affordable, simple, transparent, and effective services for indie artists, offering both an “á la carte” menu as well as full-service management agreements.
Evergreen Entertainment also offers a fan-driven subscription service called The Collective that allows fans to become a part of Evergreen’s community and engage with the roster of artists on a personal level. Fans receive exclusive merch, VIP, discounted show tickets, letters from their favorite artists, and Collective-only opportunities to engage with the artists.
Evergreen Entertainment’s first artist is Mcclendon, a Nashville indie who recently branched away from his band Painted West to start a solo career. He is set to release an EP in September.
