Rural Rhythm Records has been operating Sage Brush Music Publishing for over 50 years. Sage Brush Music Publishing is affiliated with BMI and has over 900 songs in its publishing library.
Sage Brush Music Publishing is owned by industry veteran Sam Passamano and operates using the same management team that runs Rural Rhythm Records. In 2009 Rural Rhythm Records charted 15 #1 songs and albums on the Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Music Profiles Charts, capturing over a 40% share of the #1 positions.
Under the leadership of Passamano and industry veteran Tony Spinosa, joining Sage Brush Music Publishing to run the day to day operation, the company will be looking to aggressively add to its library. Sage Brush will also be stretching its genre offering by seeking out new songwriters in the bluegrass, country, Christian, southern gospel and bluegrass gospel genres. With the right team of songwriters, combined with the company’s veteran experience, Sage Brush Music Publishing is poised to have the same type of chart impact as its parent, Rural Rhythm Records.
Sage Brush Music Publishing is actively marketing its song library to the bluegrass, country, Christian and gospel community as well as key music supervisors who supply music for film and TV, advertising agencies and artists in the Americana and folk community. Sync licensing will be an important component in the daily operation of Sage Brush Music Publishing.
Rural Rhythm Records and Sage Brush Music Publishing look forward to representing the best artists and songwriters in the music business. Building one of the most successful and powerful song and music publishing libraries today is our ultimate goal. If you are a songwriter that wants to be a part of this growth please contact Sage Brush Music Publishing at info@sagebrushmusicpublishing.com.
