Agent and GCT co-founder Jim Romeo will handle the band&#8217;s bookings in the territory, taking over from THE\u00b7TEAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in 2002, Dirty Projectors built their following on albums like <em>Bitte Orca<\/em> before returning to a full band lineup with vocalists Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, and returning member Olga Bell. Their most recent album, <em>Song of the Earth<\/em>, an orchestral song cycle, arrived on Nonesuch Records in April 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The momentum carried into 2026 with an April performance alongside the Austin Symphony Orchestra, while Douglass released a solo remix of &#8220;Shifting Shalestones&#8221; benefiting the Earth Percent climate charity. Longstreth also composed the score for A24&#8217;s <em>The Legend of Ochi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside North and South America, Dirty Projectors continues with 13 Artists, the London-founded agency run by Charlie Myatt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romeo&#8217;s own GCT roster already includes <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/jeff-mangum-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeff Mangum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/neutral-milk-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neutral Milk Hotel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/superchunk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superchunk<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/belle-sebastian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Belle &amp; Sebastian<\/a>, making Dirty Projectors a natural fit for the agency&#8217;s indie-rock bench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GCT has kept up a steady 2026 signing pace, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/miniature-tigers-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">welcoming longtime client Miniature Tigers back into the fold<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/james-ivy-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-north-south-america-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adding New Jersey artist James Ivy for the Americas<\/a>, and most recently <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/joey-cash-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-worldwide-representation-excluding-europe-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bringing on hyperpop artist Joey Cash for worldwide bookings outside Europe and the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dirty Projectors&#8217; arrival adds another critically respected, decades-running act to that expanding roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one reads as consolidation, not reinvention. GCT&#8217;s roster already leans heavily on left-of-center indie institutions, so a 23-year-old shape-shifting project like Dirty Projectors slots right in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Handing the Americas to a boutique, relationship-driven agency rather than a mega-agency suggests the band&#8217;s team is prioritizing focus over scale, and Romeo&#8217;s existing ties to acts like Neutral Milk Hotel and Belle &amp; Sebastian could open doors to complementary bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could this signing point toward a fuller North American touring push after a relatively quiet 2025 release cycle? Does pairing Dirty Projectors with Romeo&#8217;s veteran indie-rock clients hint at potential co-bills or festival slots?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dirty Projectors, the Brooklyn art-pop project led by David Longstreth, has signed with Ground Control Touring for live music and touring representation across North and South America.
