Anthem Entertainment has hired industry veteran Scot Sherrod as Senior Director of Creative for the company’s Music Publishing division.

With nearly 30 years in music publishing, Sherrod brings with him a breadth of experience, having spent the past few years consulting for Sony Music Publishing, Jonas Group Publishing, Barry Coburn’s Ten Ten & Banz Music and Moraine Music Group.

“It is so exciting to be part of such an amazing publishing company as Anthem Entertainment–what an amazing catalog,” Sherrod shares. “I have known Noah Dewey and Gilles Goddard for over 20 years, and my respect runs deep for them both. I’m grateful and honored for this opportunity and look forward to working with the entire team to add value to Anthem’s ever-increasing brand.”

Sherrod began his publishing career at Muy Bueno Music Group, after which he spent 12 years at Major Bob Music, and Bob Doyle & Associates. In 2012, in conjunction with entrepreneur Suzane Strickland, Sherrod helped launch boutique publishing company, RareSpark Media Group, where he spent 11 years signing and developing a wide array of talent including the likes of Walker Hayes, whose 2021 smash “Fancy Like” topped Billboard‘s year-end country songs chart.

Sherrod was also instrumental in pitching the song “More Than A Memory” to Garth Brooks. The tune became the first country song to enter all charts at No. 1. He has also attained cuts by artists such as Luke Combs, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Cody Johnson, Jordan Davis, Jason Aldean, Pentatonix, Carrie Underwood, Ashley McBryde, The Chicks, Rascal Flatts, Kelly Clarkson, Mickey Guyton and Trisha Yearwood, to name a few.

“Scott Sherrod builds careers. He’s the quintessential music publisher with an impressive list of accomplishments that speak for themselves,” says Dewey, Vice President, Creative for Anthem Music Publishing Nashville. “He will be an integral part of the ongoing success of Anthem Entertainment. We’re very lucky to have him join our creative team!”
