Thirty Tigers is an American music marketing, distribution and management company for independent artists, based in Nashville.[1]

History

[edit]

The company was founded in 2002 by David Macias and Deb Markland and is distributed by The Orchard.[2][3]

In 2014, Thirty Tigers entered into a strategic partnership with Sony Music Nashville to promote Chase Rice's single "Ready Set Roll" and album Ignite the Night. This was possibly the first time in country music that a major label paid only for radio promotion.[4][5]

In 2016, Thirty Tigers partnered with Triple 8 Management and Sony Music to create the country-music label Triple Tigers.[6] Triple Tigers signed Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery as its first acts.

In 2024, The Black Opry launched its label in conjunction with Thirty Tigers.[7]

Overview

[edit]

Thirty Tigers is not a record label, but releases around 100 albums per year for artists who retain ownership and control of their music and career choices.[8]

Thirty Tigers has significant influence in the Americana music community, but works with artists from a wide range of genres including folk, indie rock, R&B, hip hop, and country.[9][10]
