About Ascend Artist Group

We manage artists built to last.

Ascend Artist Group is a boutique artist management company representing a new generation of raw, road-tested talent across country rock, Americana, modern alt-rock, and blues. Based in Virginia and rooted in real relationships, we partner with artists who don’t just chase trends—they set them.

We work with acts who know what it means to grind—artists with a fire in their chest, something to say, and a stage to own. Our roster includes genre-defiant bands like Passengers Unknown, the unapologetically rowdy Charlie Collins, Canada’s outlaw-country disruptors The Boneheads, and Appalachian road dogs Low Water Bridge Band. These aren’t polished products—they’re the truth in a world full of filters.

What We Do

We're not here to babysit careers. We build businesses around bold artists.
From tour routing and deal negotiation to merch strategy and fan growth, we’re hands-on with every move—because every move matters.

We bring a hybrid background of live event production, national talent buying, artist development, and media sales to the table, giving our clients a competitive edge both on the stage and behind the scenes. Whether it's locking in national tours, negotiating label partnerships, or building grassroots-to-global campaigns, we do the work others won’t.

Why We Exist

There are a million management companies.
We exist for the ones who feel like none of them fit.

Ascend isn’t a stepping stone. It’s a launch pad. Built for the long haul. Backed by strategy. Fueled by conviction.
We don’t just represent artists. We invest in them.

Let the industry play it safe.
We’re building something that hits harder, grows louder, and lasts longer.
