Courtney Marie Andrews has signed with Ground Control Touring for North American live music and touring representation. Agents Susie Giang and Andrew Stocker will handle her account at the agency.
The signing comes as the GRAMMY-nominated folk-country artist is in the middle of a spring 2026 North American headlining run, her most active stateside touring cycle in years, behind Valentine, her latest album released January 16, 2026, via Thirty Tigers.
Recorded to tape at Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles, the 10-track collection marks a significant creative return following her acclaimed 2022 record Loose Future.
Andrews first broke through widely with her 2018 album May Your Kindness Remain, and has since built a devoted following through years of relentless touring and critically praised releases.
Ground Control Touring, which represents artists including Waxahatchee, Japanese Breakfast, Kurt Vile, and Belle & Sebastian, has been expanding its roster aggressively, having recently signed both Mage Tears and BrotherKenzie for worldwide and U.S. representation respectively, and launching a dedicated festivals department in January 2026.
Andrews continues with Belmont Bookings for Europe and UK touring, TMWRK for management, and Shore Fire Media and Chalk Press Agency for publicity on both sides of the Atlantic.
Takeaways
This signing is a well-timed power move. Andrews is stepping into the North American market with serious momentum: a new album, an active tour, and years of critical credibility behind her.
Pairing with Ground Control Touring, one of the most respected independent agencies in the space, signals that her North American live business is being treated with the same intentionality as her European presence under Belmont Bookings.
GCT’s growing festivals arm also opens a clear lane for Andrews to land high-profile festival slots in the U.S. and Canada that match her stature as a GRAMMY-nominated artist.
The retention of her full existing team (management, publicity, and UK/EU booking) points to a stable, strategic infrastructure being built around a real artist moment. This isn’t a scramble; it’s a blueprint.
With GCT’s new festivals department now active, which North American festivals could Courtney Marie Andrews realistically headline or co-headline in 2026 and 2027? Does this signing signal that the folk-Americana lane at Ground Control Touring is becoming a deliberate focus area for the agency?
