Kweller announces new management and expansion of label
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 27 August 2013
Ben Kweller has announced a new management alliance with industry veteran Kevin Wommack, who will now also oversee the singer songwriter’s record label The Noise Company, which recently signed indie band Wild Child.
Kweller told CMU: “I’ve never been so excited about the future before. For the past five years, Liz [Kweller] and I have been handling all the business stuff on our own. I wouldn’t give that time and experience up for anything, but I felt it was time to hand over the keys. Kevin magically appeared at this crazy-perfect time. I’m in a special place right now because the only thing I have to focus on is making music”.
Wommack, who has hired Mary Jurey from New West Records and Emmy Black from Bar None Records to help run The Noise Company, added: “Ben is an extremely creative artist with great vision and energy. I’m thrilled to be on the team”.
Kweller is currently working on new material in his Austin studio.
