George Birge has inked with Black River Entertainment.

Currently boasting over 400 million career streams, back-to-back No. 1 hits with “Mind On You” and “Cowboy Songs,” top 5 hit “It Won’t Be Long,” and recent top 10 single “Ride, Ride, Ride” with Luke Bryan, Birge continues his breakout run. His success has earned him a 2025 iHeartMusic Awards nomination for Best New Country Artist, a late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and recognition as a Billboard Country Rookie of the Month.

“From the first visit with the Black River Entertainment team, I had no question that this is where I wanted to write my next chapter,” says Birge. “The passion and vision of this group is a perfect match for big plans that we have in store, and I have a sneaky feeling the best is yet to come!”

“George Birge is the kind of artist we are proud to welcome to Black River,” adds Gordon S. Kerr, CEO of Black River Entertainment. “He is an exceptional songwriter and performer whose authenticity, work ethic and clear artistic vision set him apart. George has already built an incredible connection with country music fans, and we believe the best chapters of his career are still ahead. We are grateful for the people who have been alongside George as he has grown into the artist he is today, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the Black River family and help build that future together.”

Birge has previously hit the road with Bryan, Sam Hunt, Parker McCollum and Darius Rucker. He is currently amidst his “Cowboy Songs Tour” through 2027, as well as opening on select dates for Tucker Wetmore. Birge is expected to roll out new music in the coming months.
