PRINE HEADS DOWNTOWN

John Prine, writer of "Angel from Montgomery", "Sam Stone," and "Hello in There," has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Downtown in advance of the release of his first album of all new material in 13 years.

The agreement covers 230 songs including Prine's new album, The Tree of Forgiveness, that Prine's label, Oh Boy Records, will release on 4/13.

"I've known John and his family for quite some time and am so excited for myself and Downtown to officially be apart of the team," said Steve Markland, Downtown's VP A&R, Nashville. "Working with John Prine and his vast catalog of timeless, immaculate compositions is truly a career milestone for me. I am simply honored and humbled to be apart of John's great work."

Prine praised Markland for being “hugely supportive of our family owned independent label Oh Boy Records. We are looking forward to working with him and whole Downtown team."
