Lyric Street Shuts Down & Joe Galante Leaves Sony Nashville
Published on April 16, 2010
Nashville based, Disney label Lyric Street Records, the home of Rascal Flatts, SHeDaisy, Josh Gracin, Sarah Buxton and Bucky Covington, is being shut down.
The move is said to be a cost-cutting measure by the Disney Music Group.
DMG chairman Bob Cavallo said in a statement, “The Lyric Street team has had an amazing run, building a slate of well-known artists including the superstar act, Rascal Flatts. But given the changing nature of the music business and the more streamlined priorities of the studios, we need to find alternative ways to create and market new artists and their music to consumers.”
Rascal Flatts will be continuing on to another Disney-run label with the Lyric Street promo team to continue working existing abllums in the interim. Lyric Street releases are distributed through Universal Music in Australia.
Meanwhile, long-time Sony Nashville boss Joe Galante is leaving the company. One of his last signings was Australian Adam Brand who is now with the label in the US. He also signed Australian Catherine Britt who released three singles with the label several years ago.

Adam Brand Wins Dancing With The Stars

Following his signing to Sony Music in Nashville, Adam Brand last night became the 2009 Dancing With The Stars champion.
Brand was visibly shocked when announced as the winner. He’d considered himself a long shot and was well aware that he was not the strongest dancer on the show. But the judges fell in love with his larrikin personality, his persistence and his supreme talent as an entertainer. And the public, both existing fans and the many that he won over every week, voted hard.
Accepting the award Adam reflected on his time on the show with a reference to his young nephew Harrison.
“At the start of this competition I said it doesn’t matter what they do to me, they can put me in high heels and a ballerina dress for all I care because the reason I said yes and wanted to do this was where the money went, to charity. I lost my little nephew a couple of years back, so every step, every awkward move that I’ve done it doesn’t matter… because he’s up there watching. This is for little Harry, for my little nephew!”
Adam Brand’s latest album Hell Of A Ride is out now.
