Virginia native Chase McDaniel has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Hang Your Hat Music and Concord Music Publishing. The deal includes the writer’s full catalog, which includes cuts with Logan Crosby, Reid Haughton, Emily Ann Roberts, Clayton Mullen and more, as well as all future work.

Hang Your Hat Music was founded by two-time ACM Songwriter of the Year Hillary Lindsey, and is in a joint venture with Concord Music Publishing.

“Hang Your Hat is so thrilled to welcome Chase to the roster,” says Jake Gear, Executive Vice President of Hang Your Hat Music. “He’s established a network of close writer/artist collaborators based on his songcraft as a topliner. He’s a well of ideas with incredible work ethic and ability to craft a memorable melody and lyric that’s feels fresh—all which makes him a valuable addition to any room. We’re excited to get to work!”

“Concord couldn’t be prouder to partner yet again with Hang Your Hat and to work with Chase,” adds Brad Kennard, SVP A&R at Concord Music Publishing in Nashville. “He’s a focused and determined craftsman, who represents the best of Nashville’s next generation of hit-makers.”

After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in finance, McDaniel moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting. He has quickly cemented himself as a rising talent, bringing fresh ideas and strong toplining to every writing session.

“It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to work with such great creative teams,” says McDaniel. “I’m super grateful to Hillary, Jake and Emily [Baldridge] for taking a chance on me. Looking forward to the next chapter!”
