The artists at Olivia Management, a Nashville-based folk and Americana artist management company, were busy in 2025 and truly took the year by storm. With new releases, solo tours, and unforgettable live events, we are so proud to represent a roster of artists who continued to grow creatively while also resonating deeply with fans around the world. Throughout the year, our artists accomplished major milestones, including solo tours and a whole lot of new music. 2025 proved to be a year of intention and growth for our artists, who simultaneously contributed to the undeniable creative and collaborative energy at Olivia Management.

The excitement doesn’t end there. As we look ahead to 2026, the year is jam-packed with new music, upcoming shows, and buzzworthy collaborations. Singer-songwriter and Americana artist Mary Gauthier kicked off 2026 with the announcement of must-see show dates. She will perform on April 24th at One Longfellow Square in Portland, Maine, and on May 17th at White Water Tavern in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Each night offers fans intimate moments with the songs and stories that have shaped his career so far. Our team is incredibly proud of Aaron Lee for this career milestone, and we can’t wait to see everything he has in store for 2026.
