Prescription Songs has partnered with Kobalt Music Group to sign artist, songwriter and producer Anderson East.

East is currently working on a new album with longtime collaborator and producer Dave Cobb, which scheduled for release later this year. His last project via Elektra/Low Country Sound, Maybe We Never Die, featured the top 20 AAA radio single “Madelyn.” East’s 2018 album, Encore, featured the Grammy-nominated No. 1 AAA radio single “All On My Mind,” co-written with Ed Sheeran.

On the live front, the creator has toured alongside Brandi Carlile, The Revivalists and Chris Stapleton, among others, and performed at festivals including Austin City Limits (ACL), Lollapalooza, Stagecoach, Forecastle, Bottle Rock, Byron Blues, Mountain Jam and Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival. This summer, he plans to hit the road with Whiskey Myers.

“Anderson doesn’t put himself in a box and knows the value of a great song. His deep roots in Nashville and the community here paired with our team is going to be powerful,” says Katie Fagan, Nashville Head of A&R, Prescription Songs. “We are beyond honored to help be a part of his story as a producer and songwriter, and to finally be on his team!”

“I first met Anderson at one of his Troubadour shows in L.A. I was obviously impressed by his performance as an artist and singer on stage but what really struck me was how he interacted with people off the stage,” shares Chris Martignago, A&R, Prescription Songs. “He brings the same excitement to conversation as he does to his show and it’s that passion for music and people that got me excited about him as a writer/producer in the room.”

“I’ve been a fan of Anderson’s since I first heard his Delilah LP in 2015, so getting to work together officially now feels incredibly special,” says Christian Conant, A&R, Prescription Songs. “He’s all the best things about Nashville—an amazing storytelling songwriter and a real musician’s musician. I’m so thankful to be joining the team for this next chapter of Anderson’s career!”

“I’m very happy to be partnering with the talented and forward-looking team at Prescription,” shares East. “Their ability to exist outside the box while still able to recognize and value a well-crafted song is rare and immensely exciting.”
