• Both it and Pub Crawl Songs will build out their initial rosters throughout the remainder of the year.

• The Orchard has been announced as global distribution partner and publishing administration partner.

The team:

• Veteran music industry executive Piero Giramonti has been appointed Executive Vice President of Operations and Artist Manager.

• Formerly the President of Sumerian Records, and General Manager of Capitol Music Group’s Harvest Records and Caroline Independent Distribution, he will oversee global infrastructure, day-to-day operations, and strategic scaling for the Pub Crawl division while managing select artists.

• Also joining 10th Street’s Nashville office are Elizabeth Brahan Wright (VP of Music Publishing/Artist Manager), Clint Perry (Artist Manager) and Jim Prisco (Artist Manager).

• The team manages the careers of Tyler Farr, Morgan Wade, and Kanaan Brock.

What they said:

• Piero Giramonti: “I am so happy to be joining an organization with the pedigree of 10th Street Entertainment, where artists come first, and an incredible staff operate with passion, and with complete transparency and integrity. I have known [COO] Lewis Kovac for 30 years. We have always had stellar success and great times working together. I have only recently gotten to know Chris Nilsson [President], but I can already see that he has passion, is thoughtful, calm, highly knowledgeable and very cool. It doesn’t get any better than this.”
