Curb Records has signed country artist Jerrod Niemann to their artist roster.
A Kansas native, Niemann first made a name for himself as a songwriter, with several cuts from the iconic Garth Brooks, including the 2005 hit “Good Ride Cowboy.” His breakout single, 2010’s “Lover, Lover,” became one of the most-played songs of the year, topping the singles chart, and was later certified platinum. His follow-up, “What Do You Want,” also hit the top ten and was certified gold. Other hits in the Niemann catalog include “One More Drinkin’ Song” and “Drink To That All Night.” The singer has been on the road this year with his new labelmate, Lee Brice.
“One thing that Nashville has always been proud of is its heritage and I’m lucky enough to be a part of the most historic independent record label in the music industry and wear my Curb jersey proud,” says Niemann.
Jim Ed Norman, CEO of The Curb Group shared ”We’re delighted and privileged that Jerrod is joining the Curb Records Family. His longstanding association and friendship with others at the label, both artists and executives alike, further enhances that spirit of family, camaraderie and teamwork, which are the attributes of any successful company and the characteristics to which we aspire each and every day.”
A single is slated for this spring from Niemann’s debut project on Curb Records.
