Rising country group Sweet Tea Trio has signed an exclusive management deal with Kid Rock (Robert Ritchie) and Vector Management founder Ken Levitan. The joint venture marks a first for the industry veterans, who worked together early in Kid Rock’s career.
Ritchie discovered the trio, made up of Alabama natives Victoria Camp, Savannah Coker and Kate Falcon, after they posted a video performing one of their original songs on YouTube. Ritchie invited them to perform on his eighth annual Chillin The Most Cruise last year.
“These young ladies are some of the most talented, kind hearted and hard working singers and players I have ever met,” remarks Ritchie (Kid Rock). “They are already becoming fast scholars of the road and writing songs. In my opinion they pick up where the Dixie Chicks and Pistol Annies meet. They are 100% country and I look forward to sharing my 30 years in this business to get them an honest shot at the big time.“
“The three of us feel so honored that Kid Rock and Ken (Levitan) have given us this incredible opportunity. The entire team with Kid Rock and Vector feels like a family and we cannot wait to see what the future holds,” says Sweet Tea Trio. “We give all the glory to God and we are so excited! We love our country music family and are looking forward to making music, hitting the road, and hopefully giving country music a sugar rush!”
The Trio will open for country group Alabama later this month, and will continue opening for Kid Rock on his American Rock n Roll Tour. They released a self-titled EP last June produced by Jason Wyatt, which debuted at No.11 on the iTunes Country chart.
