Independent label, pubo and artist development hub River House Artists has entered a partnership with Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Music Group. The joint venture is designed to capitalize on each company’s similar approach to artist development.

“I am beyond thrilled to finally announce this new venture,” said RHA Founder Lynn Oliver-Cline. “I can’t thank Espo, Cris Lacy, Ben Kline, Gregg Nadel and Patrick Sabatini enough for believing in what we are continuing to build.”

“Our partnership is the culmination of years of shared history, mutual admiration and respect,” added WMN’s EVP of A&R, Lacy. “When we talk about artists who make long term impact and shift culture in the country space and beyond, we’re talking about icons that found their first champion in Lynn Oliver-Cline.”
