Janson splits with Warner, signs with Big Machine
Jason had been on Warner Nashville for seven years and released his most recent album, "All In," in April. Janson enjoyed fie top 10 singles during his stint with Warner. Among his hits were "Buy Me A Boat," "Fix A Drink," "Good Vibes" and "Done."
"I am so proud to be teaming up with Scott Borchetta, Jimmy Harnen and the team at Big Machine Label Group. This opportunity is an absolute dream come true and I'm honored to be working with such a talented crew and roster of artists," said Janson. "Julian Raymond and I are hitting the studio for this first album, and we are on the fast track for great new music. This whole partnership just feels right, and I couldn't be happier."
There was no word on when new music would be released.
"Chris has always been a force of nature and he's coming to BMLG at the perfect time to take his career next-level," said Big Machine Label Group Chairman & CEO Scott Borchetta. "His experience, determination, and vision for what he wants to do next completely aligns with our long-term label group ideal and continued artist development. Did I mention he blows a mean harp?"
Janson plans to hit the road again on the Can't Miss tour with Travis Tritt in October.
