The Writer’s Den Music Group has signed singer-songwriter Jerry Salley to a worldwide publishing agreement. Salley’s songs have enjoyed more than 360 cuts by Reba, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and Joe Nichols, among others.

“I’ve had the good fortune of knowing Jerry Salley for a lot of years but have never had the great fortune of working with him until now,” said Writer’s Den partner Bobby Rymer. “My belief in his talent is unquestioned and I’m looking forward to a lot of fun times for the both of us.”

In addition to previously winning SESAC’s Country Music Songwriter of the Year, Salley wrote “Where We Both Say Goodbye,” Sir Elton John’s only single to appear on Billboard’s Country Chart, and the popular Gospel song “His Strength Is Perfect.” Salley also released his acclaimed Bluegrass album New Songs, Old Friends in 2007. His more recent project is titled Showing My Age.

Salley will perform during Tin Pan South Songwriter’s Festival at Nashville’s Station Inn on Thursday, March 27 at 9 p.m. For more information, visit jerrysalley.com.
