The Core Entertainment has renewed its management agreement with Bailey Zimmerman and now has an exclusive deal with the CMA Best New Artist nominee. Chief Zaruk and Simon Tikhman, co-founders and co-CEOs of The Core, will continue to handle Zimmerman.

Earlier this year, the Atlantic/Warner Music Nashville artist scored #1 Country hits with "Religiously" and "Where It Ends," both from his platinum 2023 album, Religiously. The set enjoyed the biggest country streaming debut ever and the biggest streaming debut in any genre since 2021.

Zimmerman has spent much of the year supporting Morgan Wallen’s One Night at a Time World Tour and Luke Bryan’s Mind of a Country Boy Tour. On 10/26 he took part in the "Concert for Carolina," helping raise over $24m for hurricane relief in western North Carolina. Zimmerman’s next stop is a 12/6 headlining show at the Stifel Theatre in St. Louis.

Seen before celebrating with a round of hot-chicken-flavored champagne are (l-r) Zimmerman, Tikhman and Zaruk.
