Ben Ewing has been appointed as General Manager for Plowboy Records. In celebrating Plowboy’s five-year anniversary, a new imprint—Plowboy Legacy—has been created to include a roster of artists who helped shape modern country and rock music.

Additionally, the Need More Artist Management company has been launched to managed established artists, specifically those who produce their own recordings and actively tour to support their music.

“This is a great time for independent artists and labels to unite and create important, memorable music that matters,” said Plowboy Music President Shannon Pollard. “Ben understands the fine balance between art and commerce and I am excited to partner with him to reenergize our current catalog and build our future.”

“I look forward to working with Shannon in continuing the legacy of Eddy Arnold and exposing the world to great artists, past and present, of American made music,” said Ewing.

One of label’s first releases, You Don’t Know Me: Rediscovering Eddy Arnold, was a tribute to Country Music Hall of Fame member and Pollard’s grandfather, Eddy Arnold. Current releases for Plowboy Records include projects by Paul Burch, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, The Kentucky Headhunters and Blackfoot Gypsies. Plowboy Records is distributed by Select-O-Hits in the U.S. and Canada and by Proper Distribution in Australia and Europe.
