Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer Kristian Bush—formerly one half of country duo Sugarland—just inked a deal with BBR Music Group that encompasses publishing, recording and label services. That being said, the follow-up to his debut solo album Southern Gravity will be released through BBR imprint Wheelhouse Records.

The aforementioned set was listed in the Top 10 of Rolling Stone Country’s Best of 2015 and appeared in the Top 15 on iTunes' country chart.

“The world knows that Kristian Bush is an amazing songwriter BUT what many folks may not yet know is that he’s also a multi-talented producer,” shared President/CEO Benny Brown. “When we heard his demos we decided to sign him to a full-fledged publishing, production and artist deal. It just made sense. We’re so excited to welcome Kristian, his talent and his incredible spirit to both the Magic Mustang [where he just signed with via BMI] and BBR Music Group family.”

You can catch the Red Light-managed artist at myriad festivals through summer, including Country 500, Stagecoach and Tortuga Music Festival.

And, now, you can catch us at the nearest happy hour. TGIF, buddy!
