Bill McGathy-led In De Goot Entertainment has opened a Nashville office; it’s the NYC-headquartered management company’s fifth regional location, along with L.A., St. Louis and Detroit. In De Goot also has a London office.

Additionally, company has upped Michael Iurato to President of A&R and Artist Development, Adam Lebensfeld to President of Promotion, Alison Shepard to President of Marketing & Strategy, Gwyther Bultman to Sr. VP of Artist Management, Chris Frank to VP of Promo, Katrina Tumandao to Digital Marketing Director and Matthew Young to Director of Digital Marketing/Manager.

“This is an exciting time for In De Goot,” reads McGathy’s quote. “We are positioned to bring the legacies of our established acts to new heights and to break emerging and exciting talent. Our recent staff promotions are well deserved, and our team has made so many important contributions to growing the company and guiding our artists to success. We look forward to an incredible upcoming year of new music and live entertainment, and this is just the beginning of elevating our entire In De Goot team.”

“Nashville has always been a destination for musicians,” Iurato says of the move into Music City. “Over the past couple of years, its infrastructure in the rock world has been extremely influential. We felt the time was right to extend our reach not only for us as a company but for how we can best represent our artists.”

In De Goot clients Shinedown, Halestorm and GWAR will be releasing new albums this year, as will developing acts Zero 9:36 and Ayron Jones.
