There’s a new management company on the block, with Hannah and Jeremy Gifford leaving Round Table Management to launch Open Hand Management.
Background:
Jeremy is a former touring member of the band Lovedrug.
He has also worked with The Head and the Heart, Black Pumas and We The Kingdom.
Over time he transitioned from road work to full time artist representation, joining Round Table Management.
Hannah’s music career began selling merch for artists like Kacey Musgraves, Tenth Avenue North, Plumb and more.
In 2020 she moved into artist management at Street Talk Media, before moving to Round Table Management in 2021.
The artists:
Open Hand Management's roster includes Relient K, Dwan Hill, Franni Cash, Hopeful. and The Choir Room.
What they said:
Hannah Gifford (as per Gospel Music Association): “In the past five years, I've learned that artist management is truly about partnership, relationship, and trust. Songs, branding, relationships, hard work – they all matter! But at the end of the day, I'm standing next to the artist in unity, looking ahead at the vision and plan with focus and intention – together.”
