WARNER/CHAPPELL SCORES AN “A”

6/18/15

Warner/Chappell has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Lady Antebellum—and vice versa. The deal brings all three songwriting group members—Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott—to W/C, which will represent the majority of the Lady A catalog.

The deal was celebrated by quotes from the principals.

Kelly: “We’ve worked with Warner/Chappell before and are so happy to have them on our team once again. Ben [Vaughn] and the entire Nashville group are a talented bunch of publishers, and we’re grateful for the care and attention that they pay to our music.”

Warner/Chappell Nashville EVP Vaughn: “The first charted hit written by Dave, Charles, and Hillary was in 2007, and just a few short years later their body of work is impressive on a global scale. Their music touches fans all over the world, and besides their impressive work as Lady Antebellum, they have received numerous songwriting awards including being recognized as NMPA’s Songwriter Icon Award winner this year. The W/C family takes great pride welcoming back these amazing songwriters and people.”
