AROUND THE HORN

It's not often we get to post a photo of anyone named Coltrane on this site, let alone a shot of the sax-slinging visionary John Coltrane and the harp-thrumming innovator Alice Coltrane together. But as the pair's music company has expanded its pact with Big Deal, we've decided to use it as a point of departure for a bop around the site. You'll find the Coltrane story in the pub crawling section, along with news of Brandy Clark's Big Machine Music pact, Lukas Nelson's options after A Star Is Born, Primary Wave's deal with a member of Aerosmith and more.

You can get your fill of Nashville updates in the Music City zone, including a new arrival at Morris Higham Management and news about Kelsea Ballerini, Jon Pardi, Luke Combs and plenty of others.
