Texas band The Wilder Blue has signed with Nashville-based management companies Make Wake Artists and Deep Roots Management. The band, who just made their Grand Ole Opry debut, will be co-managed by Make Wake’s Chris Kappy and Deep Roots’ Dylan Wright, with Make Wake/Deep Roots’ Eric Berger and HB Riordan as partnering day-to-days.

The Wilder Blue formed in 2019, and is comprised of primary frontman and songwriter Zane Williams, lead guitarist Paul Eason, bassist Sean Rodriguez, drummer Lyndon Hughes and multi-instrumentalist Andy Rogers. Their most recent album, Super Natural, shows off their Texas twang and southern harmonies. It was produced by Grammy-nominee Brent Cobb.

“We are very excited to be a part of the team that represents The Wilder Blue,” shares Kappy. “This supergroup of musicians and vocal talent is something to behold. With five-part harmonies and musicianship that rivals a band of session players, we know that witnessing this live show is a joy for any music lover. We look forward to helping more eyes and ears experience the phenomenon that is The Wilder Blue.”

“We are thrilled about our partnership with this exceptionally talented group of individuals comprising The Wilder Blue,” says Wright. “Their mastery of five-part harmonies is on par with the industry’s finest, showcasing a level of musical excellence that is truly remarkable. With their exceptional songwriting, we anticipate that this band will make a significant impact on both the country and Americana music scenes.”

As the band continues to emerge out of Texas, they’ve also signed with WME for global representation, working with WME Partner Braeden Rountree and agents Geoff Turner and Carrie Murphy.

“We have been big fans of The Wilder Blue’s incredible music for some time,” says Turner. “The energy and musicianship they bring in a live setting is a level all its own, and we are honored to be a part of their team.”

“Combining talents and working together is how The Wilder Blue got to where we are,” shares Williams. “Adding the talented folks at Make Wake Artists and WME to our team is the perfect opportunity to take us even farther and we are pumped to take this journey together.”

The Wilder Blue will join Luke Combs on his upcoming “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour,” which includes 30 stadium shows.
