Brent Anderson has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Spirit Music Nashville/Fluid Music Revolution.

A native of Pascagoula, Mississippi, Anderson started playing guitar at six years old. By the time he was ten, he was fronting his own three-piece band. At 17, his gift for songwriting caught the ear of Nashville and he signed his first songwriting deal. Anderson later signed with Sea Gayle/Arista Nashville and his debut album was produced by Frank Rogers.

Since moving to Nashville in 2005, Anderson has written songs cut by Brad Paisley, Dustin Lynch, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, Sheryl Crow, Florida Georgia Line, and Scotty McCreery, among others. Anderson co-wrote “Lonely Tonight” with Ryan Hurd, which hit No. 1 on the Country Airplay charts, and garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

He also co-produced Chris Janson’s album Buy Me a Boat and the 2017 single “Fix a Drink”—singing backing vocals and playing acoustic guitar on the track—as well as produced songs for Jameson Rodgers. His vocals and guitar playing have been featured on many artist projects as well, including for Rodgers, Lainey Wilson, and Brad Paisley.

Anderson’s new EP, Bloodline, was released in 2022 on Red Balloon Music, and a full length album titled Rearview Tennessee is slated for release this summer.

“We are thrilled to welcome Brent Anderson to the Spirit/Fluid family!” shares Rogers, Chief Creative Officer, Spirit Music Group/CEO, Spirit Music Nashville. “Brent is a world-class songwriter, singer, musician and producer who’s potential is truly limitless. We could not be more excited about partnering with Brent—this is going to be a lot of fun! Let’s go!”

“I have been a friend/fan of Brent and his songwriting for some time now,” adds AJ Burton, Vice President, Fluid Music Revolution. “Knowing his long history with Frank and after a couple of recent hangs, I knew I wanted him to be a part of Spirit Fluid to help build this next chapter of his career.”

“Working with Frank, and now AJ and the Spirit/Fluid team, is a full circle moment,” shares Anderson. “I’m really grateful to join forces with such a talented team of music publishers and excited about what the future will bring.”
