Nashville, Tenn. (December 13, 2016) – Acclaimed songwriter/artist Mat Kearney has signed to Big Loud Mountain Management, home to superstars Florida Georgia Line and breakout artists like Chris Lane and Dallas Smith.
Kearney, a born troubadour whose unique blend of hip-hop, adult
alternative, and spiritually-based songwriting have won him a dedicated
fanbase over his 10 year career, began his journey in the coffeehouses
of California before moving to Nashville, where he now makes his
home. With signing to BLM and new music already in the works, Kearney
will step out as an independent artist and welcomes this change.
“Big
Loud is an exciting place to be. Great people with big ideas,” said
Kearney. “After being on major label for 10 years I felt a strong need
to start this journey together as an independent artist. It has been so
inspiring, and I feel lucky to have such a world class team down the
street.”
Big
Loud Mountain partner Seth England said of the signing, “after our
first meeting with Mat, we knew we had to officially work
together.  I’ve always respected Mat’s career from a distance all these
years. We couldn’t be more excited to join his team. We’ve had the
pleasure to hear what Mat is working on next and I can confidently say
the best is yet to come for him.”
His current record, Just Kids (released in February 2015), became his fourth-consecutive Top 5 release on the Billboard Christian Albums chart. AbsolutePunk raved, “If Just Kids proves
anything, it is that Kearney is still crafting albums that are
unrelenting in their charisma.” The prolific writer has also contributed
songs to dozens of television shows and movies, including Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, and 2011’s Soul Surfer.
Kearney recently wrapped his run on the COMPADRES 2016 Tour, presented by Needtobreathe, alongside John Mark McMillan, Parachute, and Weshly Arms.
