Red Street Country launches with Ryan Griffin
Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus has launched his new record label, Red Street Country. The label is an offshoot of his Christian label, Red Street Records in which he founded in 2018.
“As Red Street’s Christian division has continued to grow, it felt like the natural next step was for us to move into the country music space,” DeMarcus shares. “I am one of the genre’s biggest fans, and it feels like the right time to really hone in on the next generation of country superstars. The team that has come together is beyond my wildest dreams, I can’t wait to get started.”
Red Street Country also revealed their first artist signing, singer/ songwriter Ryan Griffin. With millions of streams already under his belt, Griffin is making waves having been previously tapped as an opener for Kelsea Ballerini, Lady A and Old Dominion and garnering critical attention as one of Rolling Stone’s 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know. He’s also been highlighted on Ones to Watch lists by AOL, AXS, Country Fancast, and others.
As one third of one of the most influential groups in modern country history, Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus will lead the new artistry-driven division and has enlisted a stellar roster of industry veterans and new team members to head up Red Street Country.
A GRAMMY-winning producer, DeMarcus has worked with such acts as the legendary band Chicago, Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks, Shenandoah and Reba. DeMarcus was also honored in 2020 for his work producing Jason Crabb’s album Unexpected which was named “Best Roots Gospel Album” by The Recording Academy.
