Veteran artist manager Gary Borman has announced his retirement and the closure of his management company Borman Entertainment, 50 years after its inception.

Clientele:

• Borman has been Keith Urban’s manager for the past 25 years.

• Variety reports that Urban will be moving to a new, yet to be announced firm.

• Borman Entertainment has, over the years, represented artists such as Bee Gees, James Taylor, Violent Femmes, Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill, The Rolling Stones, Natalie Cole and Yellowjackets.

What they said:

• Gary Borman: “To say I’ve been lucky to have spent my time doing what I’ve loved, would be an understatement. I’ve worked side by side with some of the most gifted artists.  I’m grateful beyond words to all the teachers, artists, colleagues, collaborators, supporters, Lady Luck, as well as the adversaries and turbulent moments that sharpened his resolve and taught him how to manage emotion and life.”

• Keith Urban: “I’m so grateful to Gary (and my entire Borman Nashville family) for the most incredible and successful time together. It was extraordinary – what we were able to accomplish together – and I’ll forever be grateful for the creative and collaborative spirit we were all a part of for so long.  I wish Gary and everyone at Borman Entertainment the very best journey ahead and look forward to what the future holds for all of us.”
