Brotherkenzie, the solo alias of Hippo Campus lead guitarist Nathan Stocker, has signed with Ground Control Touring for US live music and touring representation. Agent Gabe Sunshine will handle the booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stocker has been steadily building the Brotherkenzie project alongside his work with Hippo Campus, who released their fourth studio album Flood<\/em> in September 2024 on their own Psychic Hotline imprint and toured extensively into 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the solo side, his debut LP Nathan<\/em> (a raw, piano-heavy introspective record( arrived in 2022 and marked a significant creative leap from earlier Brotherkenzie releases Barncat<\/em> and BIG WHAT<\/em>. He has also been active as a collaborator and producer, contributing to work by Samia and Baby Boys<\/a>. Brotherkenzie retains DediKATed PR for publicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunshine joined GCT’s New York office in 2023 alongside veteran agent Andrew Ellis<\/a>, who arrived from APA with a roster of over 40 acts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move is consistent with GCT’s recent appetite for indie-leaning talent. The agency recently signed Jejune<\/a> and Racecourse also joined GCT’s roster<\/a> in a similar deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boutique agency, which counts Bright Eyes<\/a>, Waxahatchee<\/a>, Japanese Breakfast<\/a>, and Kurt Vile<\/a> among its clients, also recently launched a dedicated festivals department, signaling a broader push into the live events space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This deal is a meaningful step for Brotherkenzie as a standalone touring act, not just a side project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathan Stocker has quietly cultivated one of indie’s more earnest and artistically uncompromising solo personas, and pairing that with GCT, an agency built on long-term artist relationships and a roster full of critically respected indie names, makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunshine’s track record with alt and indie acts puts Brotherkenzie in good hands as he looks to scale up his live footprint beyond the cult following he’s earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For GCT, the signing further cements their position as a home for indie artists with substance. Between Jejune, Racecourse, and now Brotherkenzie, the agency is clearly on a deliberate path in this lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will this signing finally push Brotherkenzie’s solo touring to a headline level comparable to Hippo Campus’s live operation? With GCT launching a festivals department, could Brotherkenzie land festival slots in 2026 sooner than expected?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
