- Nashville-based manager Kevin Spellman is departing Vector Management after over two decades and joining Scott Borchetta's newly launched management division at Borchetta Entertainment Group.
- Spellman brings nearly 26 years of artist management experience and a legal background, having earned his law degree from Indiana University School of Law before building a long career at Vector's Nashville operation.
- Borchetta Entertainment Group launched its management division in March 2026 with Grammy, CMA, and ACM Award-winning country artist Carly Pearce as its first client, and has since added The Band Perry to the roster.
- Spellman's arrival reinforces BEG's rapid growth as Scott Borchetta builds out a full-service Nashville-based management powerhouse alongside the relaunched Big Machine Records.
Veteran Nashville manager Kevin Spellman has joined Borchetta Entertainment Group’s management division, departing Vector Management where he spent over two decades building his career in artist management.
Based in Nashville, Spellman worked within Vector’s roster that has included acts such as Kings of Leon and Pat Benatar. He also holds a law degree from Indiana University School of Law, a background that lends a sharp business edge to his management style.
His move lands him at one of the fastest-growing new operations in Nashville. Scott Borchetta launched the management division of Borchetta Entertainment Group earlier this year with Grammy-winner Carly Pearce as its cornerstone signing, alongside manager Mike Blong, formerly of Starstruck Entertainment.
Borchetta has since added Grammy, CMA, and ACM Award-winning group The Band Perry to the roster, a signing that arrived alongside manager Shelby Marvel and further signaled BEG’s intent to build quickly.
The Band Perry is currently on their Psycho Rodeo Tour and are booked for CMA Fest 2026 at Nissan Stadium.
That broader momentum in Nashville’s management landscape, including Matt Johnson’s exit from Red Light Management to launch The Together Company, makes Spellman’s arrival at BEG a move worth watching closely.
Takeaways
Spellman’s move is a telling sign of where Nashville’s management scene is shifting. Borchetta Entertainment Group is no longer just an announcement, it’s proving to be a real magnet for experienced talent, and landing a manager with Spellman’s depth and legal background suggests the company is building infrastructure, not just signing names.
What’s particularly compelling here is the timing. Scott Borchetta launched this division barely two months ago, and he’s already assembling a roster of both artists and managers that rivals established operations.
Spellman coming over from Vector Management, a firm known for long-term, career-defining artist relationships, signals that BEG is offering something compelling beyond just Borchetta’s name.
Could Spellman bring any of his former Vector Management clients with him to BEG? Is Borchetta building BEG to eventually challenge the major management conglomerates, or is this a boutique play focused on select Nashville-rooted talent?
