On The Cover: Hailey Whitters Graces Cover Of MusicRow’s 2024 Artist Roster Issue

MusicRow, Nashville’s leading music industry publication, has released its 2024 Artist Roster print issue, featuring ASCAP songwriter and Big Loud Records/Songs & Daughters/Pigasus Records recording artist Hailey Whitters on the cover.

Over the past year, Whitters’ career has continued to skyrocket as she took home the ACM Award for New Female Artist of the Year and was nominated for New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards. Last year alone, Whitters made her night TV debut on multiple programs and performed her hit single “Everything She Ain’t” at the ACM Awards. The hit appeared on her breakthrough album Raised, which, like her 2020 album The Dream, appeared on over 15 year-end best-of lists, and was named Rolling Stone’s No. 1 country album of the year.

“Everything She Ain’t” marked multiple firsts for the Iowa-born artist including her first-ever top 20 single at country radio, appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 and RIAA Platinum certification. The song has been played over 175 million times on TikTok, inspiring many trends on the platform.

This year’s Artist Roster print edition features exclusive editorials including a celebration of Curb Records’ 60th anniversary. In the six decades since its inception, the company has achieved an impressive 435 No. 1 hits, garnered over 1,500 top 10 songs and charted over 4,500 total records. Founder and Chairman Mike Curb talks to MusicRow about the label’s journey and his vision.

Three of Nashville’s top managers—Daniel Miller, Charly Salvatore and Juli Griffith—come together for a roundtable discussing the opportunities and challenges they face in our rapidly-growing industry.

The Artist Roster issue also explores the impact of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album on the industry and the featured artists that have been championed because of it. Elsewhere, Asha Goodman, Exec. VP of Sacks & Co. and head of its Nashville office also talks with MusicRow about elevating their expansive client list.

Finally, this issue features a look inside the exciting Nashville Yards development. Pinnacle’s Head of Music, Sports and Entertainment Andy Moats; CAA Co-Head of Nashville Music Jeff Krones; Southwest Value Partners’ Managing Partner Cary Mack and AEG Presents’ Regional VP Mike DuCharme all give their expertise on the value the new neighborhood will bring to the industry.

In addition to its editorial features, MusicRow’s 2024 Artist Roster contains a six-part company directory, complete with client rosters in the categories: Label, Management, Talent Agents, Publicity, Artist Services (Banking, Business Management/Financial/Insurance, Digital Music, Legal, Marketing and Radio Promotion), Media and Organizations (Trade & Professional Development, Performing & Mechanical Rights and Unions).

This edition also offers a summarizing Artist Grid, which has become an indispensable tool connecting artists to their team members in Label, Management, Talent Agency and Publicity categories.
