- Allison Crutchfield joins Another Management Company as a manager, where she will co-manage rising indie artists Twisted Teens, Brennan Wedl, and Ryan Davis.
- Prior to this move, Crutchfield spent approximately seven years at ANTI- Records, where she headed A&R and signed artists including MJ Lenderman, Death Cab for Cutie, The Beths, and Waxahatchee.
- AMC was founded in 2017 by Reynold Jaffe and Eric Dimenstein, who also serves as president of Ground Control Touring.
Another Management Company, the boutique Los Angeles-based management firm home to artists like Kurt Vile, Waxahatchee, and Alvvays haved added Allison Crutchfield to its team.
A musician in her own right, known for her work with Swearin’, P.S. Eliot, Snocaps, and as a solo artist, Crutchfield spent nearly seven years as head of A&R at ANTI- Records, where she signed MJ Lenderman, Death Cab for Cutie, The Beths, and Waxahatchee (the recording project of her twin sister Katie Crutchfield).
The transition follows a pattern seen across the indie industry, similar to moves like Trey Witter joining ColorCreative and Dru Bass departing WME for the Independent Artist Group, where experienced music executives are migrating into artist management roles.
At AMC, Crutchfield will immediately begin co-managing Twisted Teens, Brennan Wedl, and Ryan Davis. Her relationship with AMC founders Reynold Jaffe and Eric Dimenstein predates the firm itself, built through years of collaboration via Ground Control Touring.
Most recently, Crutchfield hit the road in late 2025 with Snocaps, her supergroup alongside Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, and Brad Cook, in support of the group’s surprise album.
Takeaways
This move is a smart one, and the music industry is paying attention. Allison Crutchfield brings something rare to a management role: the lived experience of being both a working artist and an A&R executive who shaped some of indie rock’s most important signings of the past decade.
Her pipeline of relationships with artists, labels, and agents gives AMC a significant edge in the fiercely competitive boutique management space. For AMC, this isn’t just a hire; it’s a statement about where the firm is headed.
Meanwhile, Hannah McElroy’s Nashville appointment reflects AMC’s growing ambition to bridge indie and country-adjacent markets, especially as artists like Twisted Teens continue to blur genre lines.
With Crutchfield’s deep A&R background at ANTI- Records, could AMC begin pulling newly signed ANTI- artists into its management orbit? For rising indie acts like Brennan Wedl and Ryan Davis, what does having a manager who personally championed them at a label level mean for their long-term career trajectories?
