Bluegrass artist Wyatt Ellis has signed with WME for global representation.
In his two short years on the scene, Ellis has been invited to perform on stage with artists such as Billy Strings, Dierks Bentley, Peter Rowan, Sam Bush, Bryan Sutton, Dailey & Vincent and Marty Stuart.
Ellis’ debut album Happy Valley was released last Friday (Feb. 2). On release day, Happy Valley was the cover of Spotify’s New Grass Playlist with the track “Blue Smoke” featuring Stuart in the No. 1 spot on the same playlist. Other tracks receiving prominent playlisting include “Get Lost,” “Blue Smoke” and “Grassy Cove.”
Ellis is also represented by Red Light Management’s Neil Mason and Tom Lord, as well as Morris Public Relations and Alison Auerbach P.R. for public relations and artist development. Andrea Roberts with the Andrea Roberts Agency is handling radio promotion.
“Wyatt is an extraordinary talent. He embraces tradition with his artistry while captivating a new generation of bluegrass fans,” share his representatives from WME. “His future is very bright, and we’re excited to have him at WME and be a part of his journey.”
“Wyatt is a breath of fresh air, and we are thrilled to be working with him,” comments Mason. “He is traditional and progressive, young, but seasoned well beyond his years. Wyatt has quickly made a ton of noise in the bluegrass and country scene, jamming with the likes of Billy Strings, Dierks Bentley, Del McCoury and many more, as well as performing at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Fest, MerleFest, and the Grand Ole Opry, all in recent months.”
