MusicRow Releases 2025 Artist Roster Issue, Old Dominion Graces The Cover

MusicRow, Nashville’s leading music industry publication, has released its 2025 Artist Roster print issue, featuring ASCAP songwriters and Sony Music Nashville country band Old Dominion on the cover.

Since breaking onto the music scene, the band has notched nine No. 1 singles at country radio, surpassed five billion on-demand streams, earned a dozen RIAA Platinum and Gold single certifications and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe. Old Dominion are currently the reigning eight-time Academy of Country Music and seven-time Country Music Association Group of the Year. The band earned their seventh successive win for Vocal Group of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards, breaking the record for most consecutive Vocal Group Award wins in CMA history. To celebrate this historic feat, the band performed a seven-show residency at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium this February, raising more than $1.25 million for seven charities the band has been actively engaged with over their career.

This year’s Artist Roster edition includes a range of exclusive editorial features, including a behind-the-scenes look at the first-ever country residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas, featuring Kenny Chesney. Chesney and his longtime production manager Ed Wannebo spoke to MusicRow about the vision and planning behind the groundbreaking shows.

Other highlights include Big Loud’s Sr. VP of A&R Sara Knabe discussing the label’s expanding roster, and day-to-day managers Sophia Sansone and Emily Crews sharing insights into the intricacies of their roles. The issue also goes backstage at the Grand Ole Opry to highlight the team that brings the iconic show to life every night.

Additionally, distribution leaders Ryan Cunningham (ONErpm), Morgan Mills (CMDshft), Katie Studley (The Orchard) and Alison Junker (Stem) discuss how both signed and independent artists are strategically utilizing their platforms.

As always, the Artist Roster issue includes a six-part company directory, listing client rosters across categories including Label, Label Services/Distribution, Management, Talent Agents, Publicity and Artist Services (spanning Banking, Business Management, Digital Music, Legal, Marketing and Radio Promotion). Media and organizational resources—such as industry charities, trade associations and rights organizations—are also featured.

Rounding out the issue is the indispensable Artist Grid, a quick-reference guide connecting artists with their core team members in the Label, Management, Talent Agency and Publicity sectors.
