Margo Price just inked a deal with Warner Chappell Music. The singer-songwriter signed a global publishing agreement with the company's Nashville branch. Her frequent creative partner Jeremy Ivey also got an administration deal there. Price's latest album, Hard Headed Woman, scored two Grammy nominations. One was for Best Traditional Country Album. The other was for a duet with Tyler Childers, who is also on their roster.
Price has been around for a minute. Her first record came out in 2016 and hit some Billboard charts. She put out a few more albums after that, all landing in the Americana and folk zones. She works with other artists too, like Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton. She even produced a record for Jessi Colter recently. Price said the new deal feels validating, noting she sees herself as a writer first. A Warner executive called her a fearless songwriter who tells the truth.
The move adds Price to a lineup that includes people like Kacey Musgraves and Zach Bryan. The company said it will back her with teams in both Nashville and Los Angeles. This signing follows other recent moves by the publisher, like bringing on Bernie Leadon. It also coincides with some executive shuffles at major music companies in Nashville lately.
