Two of the contemporary music industry’s driving forces, Chugg Music and Select Music have today announced their partnership with country music manager, Dan Biddle to launch Wheelhouse Agency, a new booking agency focussed on the growing country and Americana music sector.

Wheelhouse combines the extensive live touring and country music market knowledge sets of Michael Chugg AM (Chugg Music), Andrew Stone (Chugg Music), Stephen Wade (Select Music), Rob Giovannoni (Select Music) and Dan Biddle (Dan Biddle Management) to provide a premium agency service.

Rob Giovannoni and Dan Biddle will take on the roles of Co-Heads of the agency while continuing in their existing roles – Rob as Senior Agent at Select Music and Dan as Special Projects Manager for Chugg Music and Dan Biddle Management. Katie Krollig, who has been part of the Select Music family for over six years, joins the Wheelhouse team as lead agent while continuing to service her roster of Select Music artists.

Henry Wagons commented on joining Wheelhouse, “I’m excited to be in the sublime twangy company Wheelhouse have corralled. What a great broad ranging stable for live country music of all shapes and sizes.“

Michael Chugg AM added, “The growth of country music in Australia over the last few years has been well documented and it was clear that the market needed a new agency to service the many great new artists coming through along with the established artists who are kicking major goals. With our many decades of experience across all facets of live touring, combined with our knowledge of the country music industry, there is no better team in Australia to help artists develop their live careers and grow their audiences.”

Consumption of country music has increased significantly over the last decade and it has become one of the leading genres worldwide today, dominating global markets in ticket sales, streaming figures and social followers. Now there are more eyes and ears on Australian country acts than ever before. Wheelhouse Agency promises to deliver the best serviced country and Americana agency that has been sorely missed in the current marketplace.
