Benny Brown, President/CEO of the BBR Music Group and Bob Morelli, President of RED Distribution, proudly announced today the formation of a new label partnership between BBR Music Group and RED Distribution. Based in Nashville, the newly minted RED BOW Records will be headquartered on Music Row with the BBR Music Group taking the lead in all creative and promotional endeavors for the new imprint.
At an industry press conference earlier today in Nashville, Brown and Morelli unveiled RED BOW Records’ inaugural artist roster. On-hand to celebrate with the Music Row industry was 4x GRAMMY nominee as well as ACM and CMA Award winner Joe Nichols, who officially signed his record deal with RED BOW Records in front of the crowd. Nichols’ career to-date has produced four #1 singles, eight Top 10 singles and 2.2 million in album sales.
“We could have done this ourselves; however, we have a longstanding, trusted friendship and professional relationship with RED Distribution and RED President Bob Morelli,” says Benny Brown, President/ CEO of the BBR Music Group. “This new venture was a great way to further that relationship, which expands both our business models and creates new opportunities for both companies and for the artists on our labels.”
“We are thrilled to be expanding our very successful relationship with Benny Brown and BBR Music Group through the launch of RED BOW Records,” says Bob Morelli, President RED Distribution. “Benny is a Nashville visionary and we are excited to be partnering with an executive of his tremendous talents and accomplishments on this new venture. This agreement further underscores RED’s ongoing commitment to supporting independent labels and artists with innovative distribution and artist development solutions.”
Also announced was hot newcomer and Country rocker Rachel Farley. The 17-year-old Georgia native has already made a name for herself on the road as one of Country’s hottest up-and-coming live acts. Farley has spent Summer and Fall 2012 opening for Broken Bow Records’ superstar Jason Aldean on his “My Kinda Party Tour.”
Congrats, Joe!
