Thirty Tigers (formerly Emergent Music Marketing) was co-founded in 2002 by industry veterans David Macias and Deb Markland, who shared a love of music and marketing and the belief that the onslaught of major label consolidation combined with advances in technology would result in many viable artists joining the ranks of the independent world. Their prediction proved true. Since then, Thirty Tigers has been bolstered by an aggressive team of creative thinkers, including industry veteran Bob Goldstone to oversee the company’s sales effort, and John Turner to head the marketing department, which has grown to also include Christian Roreau, Katie Studley and Wilson, who coordinates the licensing of Thirty Tigers releases to film, television and advertising industries.
In 2004, the company created its own label imprint and partnered with American Roots Publishing for the inaugural release Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster. The album, co-produced by Macias, won critical acclaim and the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album.
In late 2006, Thirty Tigers announced an artist management arm and an in-house publicist, already boasting a roster of acclaimed talent. This inclusion marked the welcome of Nancy Quinn and Traci Thomas into the Thirty Tigers family.
Persistently updating and recreating its philosophies and services to fit the changing tides of the music industry, Thirty Tigers has helped foster success stories for a number of artists including Beth Nielsen Chapman, The Avett Brothers, James McMurtry, and Jake Shimabukuro. These past five years have seen independent music roar into the mainstream, and Thirty Tigers has been there to answer the call.
