Artist Management

Lead Manager - GarretT

Born in Alexandria, VA, Garrett moved to Athens to attend the University of Georgia and quickly became enamored with the music scene. Having attended over 100 concerts, Garrett realized how many uber-talented bands in Athens simply don’t have the resources or guidance to advance to the next level. Garrett co-founded CME to help fulfill these artists’ need for support and direction in their careers via personal management and booking services.

Red Mile Road

Red Mile Road is an Athens, GA based hard-rock band that was formed in late 2020. Composed of dual lead guitar and dual lead vocals (Jack Wilson/Spencer Shaw), bass (Ben Maddux), and drums (Jake Kadet), Red Mile Road pairs an electrifying stage presence with a sound that can only be described as visceral. Red Mile Road's sound is influenced heavily by the Seattle Grunge scene of the ‘90s and the Classic Southern Rock scene of the ‘70s. Set after set, Red Mile Road has made its footprint on the Athens community.

WIM TAPLEY & the Cannons

Wim Tapley & The Cannons have established themselves as hometown heroes here in Athens, Georgia. Their live shows are captivating, filled with vivacious audiences who stomp and howl along to the band’s catchy, easy-to-love songs.

Firmly rooted in Americana and elevated by glamorous pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and paired with a dash of riotous horns, Wim Tapley & The Cannons’ arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless and as fevered as it is raucous fun. Since arriving on the Athens music scene in 2021, Wim is ardently received by his ever-growing following at iconic venues like Eddie’s Attic and the 40 Watt Club — the latter of which he’s headlined more than once — and tours across the Southeast.

This young band has surpassed juvenile expectations and is en-route to long-lasting success.
