L-R: Keith Gale (GCE), Wynn Williams, Joe Carter (GCE-Texas)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 26, 2024) – Good Company Entertainment (GCE) Managing Partner, Keith Gale has announced the expansion of its management services and the launch of GCE-Texas. Working alongside music industry veteran manager Joe Carter (Tracy Byrd/William Michael Morgan/Matt Castillo/The Heartwreckers) in the endeavor, Gale and Carter will develop and cater to talent reining from the Lone Star state.
"You can’t deny artists from the great state of Texas. Willie Nelson (Abbott), Waylon Jennings (Littlefield), Miranda Lambert (Longview) and so many more, have made an indelible mark on country music to shape the history of our industry," said Keith Gale. "There are talented up 'n comers with strong potential to follow in those footsteps, and we hope to help young hopefuls establish a solid footprint as a career artist."
Marking the first signing under the GCE-Texas umbrella, the team welcomes young Texas recording artist and former rodeo cowboy, Wynn Williams. The Texas A&M University grad and collegiate steer wrestler launched his music career in 2016. Williams was quick to release three recording projects right out of the gate (WORDS FLY, his self-titled album, and YOUR LOVE) and a series of singles garnering more than 12M global streams and 300K monthly listeners across all streaming platforms to date. His recent single, "Country Therapy" earned a "must-hear" recognition by Billboard (June 2024). He has opened for Randall King, Aaron Watson, Parker McCollum, Cody Johnson, Clay Walker and Tracy Lawrence and many others; and recently signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for booking representation. Wynn has been featured in Fort Worth Magazine and Texarkana Gazette, and secured endorsements by Resistol Hat & Apparel and Rod Patrick Boots.
"Wynn carries the torch for traditional country music and some of the greatest trendsetters (George Jones, George Strait and Mark Chesnutt)," added GCE-Texas co-manager and Texan, Joe Carter. "His work ethic is bar none. Wynn is hands-on in every aspect of his career and doing what he needs to do to understand and conduct his business–from social media, writing, recording and touring. We're here to help further his career to get to the next level."
"GCE is a team of 'hustlers' focused on goals, and we have similar mindsets," said the newly-signed GCE-Texas artist, Wynn Williams. "The team's combined energies have given me a new perspective, appreciation and drive to work harder to head in the direction I plan to go."
"The vibrant music scene in Texas continues to give us great talents; Good Company Entertainment/ GCE-Texas is excited and proud to enter that space working alongside Wynn Williams, of Ft. Worth, in a meaningful way," concluded Gale.
