ACM and CMA Award-winning songwriter Jon Nite has inked a global publishing deal with Concord Music Publishing. The deal includes all future works and a selection of Nite’s catalog.

“I’m so thankful for Matt Turner and the Concord team,” says Nite. “I’ve been a longtime fan of their crew and the work they’ve done over the years. To have them believe in my songs and help chase this with me over the next season is incredible!”

The Amarillo, Texas native has been a recognized name in Music City for over a decade. He has penned 18 No. 1 hits, earning three CMA Triple Play awards. In 2018, he received a Grammy and ACM nomination for Cole Swindell’s “Break Up in the End.”

Nite’s multi-genre cuts include Gabby Barrett’s “I Hope,” David Nail’s “Whatever She’s Got,” Luke Bryan’s “Knocking Boots” “Strip it Down” and “What She Wants Tonight,” Dierks Bentley’s “Living” and “Tip it on Back,” Kenny Chesney’s “Noise” and many more. Nite scored a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian chart with Dan + Shay’s “Pray for You” in 2017. Other artist cuts include Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Dallas Smith, Darius Rucker, Tim McGraw, Phillip Phillips and Brandi Carlile, among others.

Nite was awarded the SESAC Writer of the Year in 2023 for his work on Tyler Hubbard’s “Dancin’ in the Country” Brett Young’s “You Didn’t” and Barrett’s “Pick Me Up.”

“Jon Nite’s songs have been a mainstay on country radio for the last 10 plus years,” shares Turner, A&R Vice President at Concord Music Publishing in Nashville. “His ability to write songs that evoke emotion is second to none! It’s truly an honor that he chose to entrust Concord with his catalog of hits and future works,” “I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish in the coming years together!”
