- Harpist and singer-songwriter Mikaela Davis has signed with London-based Free Trade Agency for live music and touring representation across Europe and the UK, with agent David Hughes leading the deal.
- Davis continues her existing partnership with Ground Control Touring (agents John Chavez and Andrew Stocker) for all US and Canada representation.
- Her management remains with Impact Artist Management and public relations with Siren's Call PR.
- The signing comes off the back of the April 24, 2026 release of her fifth studio album Graceland Way via Kill Rock Stars, and an active Graceland Way Tour through summer 2026.
Mikaela Davis, the Rochester-born harpist and singer-songwriter known for her neo-western indie sound, has signed with Free Trade Agency for live music and touring representation across Europe and the UK. Agent David Hughes will lead the representation.
The London-based agency has been on a roll with indie-folk signings, recently bringing on both Night Swimming and Noonzy to their roster.
Davis comes into this deal with real momentum. Her fifth studio album, Graceland Way, dropped April 24, 2026 via Kill Rock Stars, earning early praise for its canyon-country sound and featuring collaborations with Madison Cunningham and Tim Heidecker. Lead singles “11:11” and “(Looking Through) Rose Colored Glasses” have been generating strong fan response ahead of a packed summer touring schedule.
She’s already hit Phuzz Fest, Viva El Gonzo in Mexico, and the Rochester Lilac Festival in 2026, with Sonoma Wild, Nelsonville Music Festival, and Ghostland Festival still ahead. Her career highlights include sharing stages with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bon Iver, and Circles Around the Sun.
On the North American side, Ground Control Touring continues handling US and Canada bookings. Impact Artist Management remains her management home, while Siren’s Call PR handles press and publicity.
Takeaways
This signing is a clear sign that Mikaela Davis is building the international infrastructure to match her growing artistic profile. Landing David Hughes at Free Trade Agency, a respected London shop with deep roots across the European festival and venue circuit, tells you this isn’t a casual overseas play.
It’s a strategic expansion timed perfectly to Graceland Way, an album that has the kind of sound that travels well across UK and European audiences who love Americana, indie-folk, and harp-driven songwriting.
The timing also matters: with Phuzz Fest, Nelsonville, and Ghostland already on the 2026 calendar, Davis is clearly building the live resume to support a UK/EU push.
For Free Trade Agency, adding Davis to a roster that recently welcomed Night Swimming and Noonzy shows a consistent lane: indie, alternative, and genre-bending artists with real touring credibility.
Could a Graceland Way EU/UK tour be imminent now that the booking infrastructure is officially in place? Will Free Trade Agency’s festival connections in Europe land Davis spots at major UK festivals like Green Man or End of the Road?
