Gregg Allman estate moves publishing to Sony
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 29 October 2021
Sony Music Publishing has signed a new deal to globally administer the catalogue of Gregg Allman’s songs controlled by his estate.
“Gregg Allman is without a doubt one of the greatest rock and roll songwriters of all time”, says Sony Music Publishing’s Global Chief Marketing Officer Brian Monaco. “On behalf of all of us at Sony Music Publishing, we are honoured to partner with his estate to support his incredible catalogue, and we look forward to creating new opportunities for his songs”.
Allman’s longtime manager Michael Lehman adds: “I am very pleased to begin this partnership with Brian Monaco and the Sony Music Publishing team to build upon Gregg Allman’s legacy. I look forward to bringing his music to new generations of fans and inspiring audiences around the world”.
Best known as keyboardist and singer in the Allman Brothers Band, the outfit he co-founded with older brother Duane, Gregg Allman died in 2017 after a period of ill health.
A previous publishing administration deal to manage the Allman estate’s catalogue globally was signed with Kobalt in 2019.
Update 1 Nov 2021: Amended to clarify that this deal covers the portion of Allman’s catalogue controlled by his estate.
