History
The company was founded in 2002 by David Macias and Deb Markland and is distributed by RED Distribution.[2][3]
In 2014, Thirty Tigers entered into a "strategic partnership" with Columbia Nashville to promote Chase Rice's single "Ready Set Roll" to Top 40 Country Radio. This was an unprecedented agreement as it may have been the first time a major country label offered their radio promotion services to an artist who was not on their label.[4][5]
In 2016, Thirty Tigers partnered with Triple 8 Management and Sony Music to create the country label Triple Tigers.[6] Triple Tigers signed Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery as the first acts on their roster.
Overview
Thirty Tigers is not a record label, but releases around 45 albums per year for artists who retain ownership and control of their music and career choices.[7]
Thirty Tigers has significant influence in the Americana music community, but works with artists from a wide range of genres including folk, indie rock, urban, and country.[8][9]
