Reeder continues with This New Century for management and Oh Boy Records for publicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reeder has been with Oh Boy Records since <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/john-prine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Prine<\/a> signed him after receiving a self-made CD, his self-titled debut arrived in 2003. His 2024 album <em>Smithereens<\/em> marked his most recent studio outing, continuing a catalog that stretches back through <em>This New Century<\/em> (2009) and <em>Every Which Way<\/em> (2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, Reeder and his daughter <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/peggy-reeder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peggy<\/a> released a live album in March 2026 and performed on <em>The Late Show With Stephen Colbert<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the agency side, this signing reflects Ground Control Touring&#8217;s continued push into the Americana and folk space. Alexander joined GCT from <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/company\/wasserman-media-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">THE\u00b7TEAM<\/a>, bringing a roster of folk and Americana artists including <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/willi-carlisle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Willi Carlisle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/anna-tivel-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anna Tivel<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/jeff-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeffrey Martin<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency has been actively expanding its folk footprint, as seen with recent signings like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/shabazz-palaces-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shabazz Palaces<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/drook-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drook<\/a> also joining the GCT family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ground Control Touring, founded in 2000, has built its reputation as a boutique agency with a tightly curated roster spanning indie, alternative, and folk genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing feels well-timed. Reeder is riding genuine momentum: a live album, a <em>Colbert<\/em> appearance, and over two decades of cult credibility, and now has a dedicated booking infrastructure to match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s particularly interesting here is the Alexander factor: a Nashville-based agent with a strong Americana network landing at GCT specifically to grow that lane suggests the agency isn&#8217;t just adding a name, it&#8217;s building a mini-ecosystem for folk artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Reeder, staying with This New Century and Oh Boy Records while upgrading his touring representation shows a smart, incremental approach to scaling without losing the indie identity that defines him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could this deal lead to Dan Reeder appearing on more major festival lineups and international tours? How might Tommy Alexander\u2019s Americana-focused roster shape Reeder\u2019s future touring partners and support acts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity Name: Dan Reeder New Company: Ground Control Touring Primary Agent: Tommy Alexander Department: Booking \/ Touring Territory: North America Dan Reeder, the fiercely original outsider folk artist and painter known for his DIY blend of blues, folk, gospel, and field hollers, has signed with Ground Control Touring for booking representation.
