Country duo Tigirlily has signed a worldwide publishing deal with SMACKSongs and Kobalt.

Made up of sisters Kendra and Krista Slaubaugh, Tigirlily signed with Shane McAnally and Jason Owen’s record label Monument Records last year. This partnership with SMACKSongs extends the band’s relationship with McAnally.

“From the first time I saw Tigirlily play downtown, I’ve been a big fan. I am so excited SMACK gets to be a part of Kendra and Krista’s songwriting journey,” says Lee Krabel, VP of Publishing, SMACK. “We can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.”

Originally from North Dakota, Tigirlily has been touring across the mid-west since they were young teens. The duo has opened for artists including LeAnn Rimes, Kane Brown, Lee Brice, and more.

Tigirlily released their debut self-titled EP on Monument Records this year, including their song “Somebody Does,” which made it to the top of both the iTunes Country Songs chart and the iTunes All Genre songs chart upon release.

“We are so excited to find our publishing home with SMACK/Kobalt,” says Krista. “We felt like this fit was perfect for our vision as writers, artists, and creatives.”

“Over the last year we have been working with Shane McAnally on the production/label side as well as working with several writers on the SMACK roster on the first project we released with Monument Records,” continues Kendra. “SMACK feels like a family that truly believes in your vision, so we’re very thankful to be working with a team like theirs.”

GM/SVP of Creative at Kobalt, Stephanie Cox adds, “Kobalt is excited to welcome Kendra and Krista to the family and work alongside our incredible partners at SMACK on Tigirlily’s songwriting and artistic journey.”
