RED LIGHT, FIREBIRD STICK TO GORLEY'S TAPE ROOM

Tape Room Music, songwriter Ashley Gorley's publishing house, has struck a partnership with Red Light Ventures and Firebird Music that includes the purchase of 350 songs from the Tape Room catalog.

Since Tape Room’s establishment by reigning ACM Songwriter of the Year Gorley in 2011, the hit factory has scored nearly 40 radio #1s and earned three GRAMMY nominations, three CMA Song of the Year nods and numerous ASCAP and BMI awards.

Most recently, Jordan Davis' recording of “Buy Dirt” received 2022 CMA Song of the Year honors and Tape Room writers Zach Crowell, Hunter Phelps and Ben Johnson snagged CMA Triple Play awards, bestowed upon songwriters for delivering three country #1s in a 12-month period.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with two of the most successful, forward-thinking companies in our industry,” said Blain Rhodes, president of Tape Room. Adds Red Light founder Coran Capshaw, "We are excited to partner with Ashley and the world-class team at Tape Room."

Tape Room was represented in the deal with Red Light and Firebird by Loeb & Loeb attorneys Derek Crownover, John Rolfe, Megan Pekar and Willie Jones. Red Light and Firebird were represented by Elliot Groffman of Carroll Guido Groffman Cohen Bar & Karalian.
