Downtown Artist & Label Services has signed the Nashville-based, Platinum-certified, American folk band Judah & The Lion to its growing Nashville roster.
Signed by Senior Manager, A&R Jeanette Porcello, Downtown will spearhead the distribution, release strategy and marketing for the band’s future projects. The announcement coincides with an ongoing album rollout, with Judah & The Lion’s upcoming LP The Process scheduled for release on May 10.
“We’re excited to embark on this journey with Judah & the Lion,” says Porcello. “This band is a staple of Nashville’s vibrant music scene, and we knew Downtown Artist & Label Services had to work with them after getting an ear on the new music. Judah [Lee] and Brian [Victor Macdonald] are continuing to shape their trajectory, and have written a bold, beautiful new record that both current and new fans are going to cherish for the ages.”
The collaboration between Downtown and Judah & The Lion has already yielded success with recent singles, “Leave it Better Than You Found It” featuring Ruston Kelly, “Great Decisions” and “Is What It Is.” The band is no stranger to success, accumulating over 910 million career streams, achieving both Gold and Platinum certifications and landing six of their hit singles in the top 15 on Alternative radio. They were also honored with the iHeart Music Award for Best New Alt Rock Band of 2018.
Of the deal, Judah & The Lion shares, “From the get go, Downtown has shown to us that they fully understand our vision for this new record and have been supportive and proactive during this entire rollout. Jeanette, Channing [Mitzell] and team are a joy to work with, and we can’t wait to get this record out alongside Downtown.”
Downtown Artist & Label Services has continued to grow its Nashville division, seeing the release of projects such as Cheat Codes’ One Night In Nashville, Hunter Hayes’ Red Sky, Colbie Caillat’s Along The Way and Fancy Hagood’s Apple Radio show, Trailblazers.
