BREAKING: Cindy Mabe Launches Joan Of Arc Music
Music industry veteran Cindy Mabe has launched Joan of Arc Music, a comprehensive entertainment company dedicated to preserving the legacy of country music while championing its future through artist development, label services, publishing, management, TV/film production, next generation technologies and philanthropic impact.
With her decades of proven success in developing country music’s biggest acts, Mabe has guided the careers of superstars including Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, and George Strait, among countless others.
“Country music is at a crossroads,” says Mabe, Founder and CEO of Joan of Arc Music. “We risk losing the very essence of what makes country music special—its authentic storytelling, its connection to people’s real lives, and its deep cultural roots. Joan of Arc Music exists to be warriors for creators and protect artistry.”
Joan of Arc Music includes the following four pillars: Joan of Arc Entertainment, which includes artist management, recorded music/label services, project development and marketing and publishing services; Joan of Arc Studio Works, focusing on multi-platform content creation including TV/film production, audio content and short-form monetization; Joan of Arc Ventures, offering strategic investments in innovative partnerships and equity-backed ventures; and Joan of Arc Music Preservation Foundation, a philanthropic division that protects the legacy of country music while championing its continued evolution. The company’s inaugural partnerships include the CMA Foundation, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Porter’s Call.
For distribution, Joan of Arc Music has partnered with Warner Records Nashville.
“This partnership with Cris Lacy and the team at Warner Records Nashville amplifies our mission,” shares Mabe. “Cris is a Nashville veteran whose commitment to the legacy of country music aligns with our vision of preserving the genre’s authentic storytelling while embracing innovative distribution and marketing strategies. Together, we’re creating a powerful platform for both emerging and established artists to reach global audiences.”
In addition to Mabe, Joan of Arc’s leadership team includes Lori Christian, Dawn Gates, Harper Grae, Leigh Morrison and Allison Winkler. Reach them at their emails below.
