Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Electric Feel Publishing have partnered to sign Eddie Eberle of Eddie And The Getaway to a global publishing agreement.

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter and producer’s work spans country, pop-punk and rock, among other genres. His credits include Lecade’s “Sober Me Up,” “Painkillers” and “Backroad” as well as Jay Webb’s “Down Here,” which topped the iTunes Country chart.

As an act, Eddie And The Getaway has amassed almost 500,000 monthly listeners over the past year and a half. Eberle has also toured throughout the Midwest, Southeast and Texas.

He unveiled “Love Myself,” a song he wrote alongside Lindsay Rimes and James McNair, last Friday (Dec. 13). Prior to release, the tune’s teaser accumulated over 12 million views across social media platforms.

“I couldn’t be more stoked to sign with Sony Music Publishing and Electric Feel,” expresses Eberle. “I have no doubt that having a family like Austin Rosen, John Bradley, Rusty Gaston and Josh Van Valkenburg will help me take my writing to a whole new level. Their belief in me is something special, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.”

“Eddie Eberle is already a force to be reckoned with, and his career is just getting started,” says Van Valkenburg, EVP, Creative A&R, Sony Music Publishing Nashville. “He’s a triple threat as an artist/songwriter/producer, and he will be a positive disruptor in an industry that needs more originality and risk-takers.

As an artist, writer and producer, he’s a true Swiss Army knife with a bright future. I couldn’t be prouder to work with Eddie and our wonderful partners at Sony.”
