Carly Pearce has officially entered a new chapter in her career, signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville as she gears up for the release of a new album. The GRAMMY, CMA and ACM Award-winning artist will release music through Stoney Creek Records as her radio imprint, with her current single ‘If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,' a collaboration with Riley Green, already making waves at country radio.
The move marks a natural progression for Pearce, who has been part of the BMG family as a songwriter since 2015. Over the past decade, she has established herself as one of country music’s most respected voices, racking up multiple No. 1 hits, more than four billion streams and earning membership of the Grand Ole Opry. Now, with a new creative team behind her, she’s setting her sights on what promises to be a defining new era.
“Signing with BMG feels less like turning a new page and more like finding the best next chapter,” Pearce said. “I am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by a team that truly hears my voice and matches my ambition. The horizon looks exactly how it’s supposed to.”
The announcement comes on the back of a packed week at CMA Fest, where Pearce once again demonstrated her deep connection with fans. From leading a panel on the CMA Close Up Stage to performing at Nissan Stadium, Spotify House and SiriusXM’s Music Row Happy Hour, she was a constant presence across the festival. She also continued her charitable work with the fifth annual Carly’s Closet fundraiser and spent time mentoring aspiring artists at GRAMMY Camp in Nashville.
Executives at BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville were quick to highlight Pearce’s artistry and authenticity as key reasons for the signing. JoJamie Hahr, EVP of Recorded Music, described her as “one of the most authentic and compelling voices in our format,” adding that the team is eager to support her next creative phase.
The partnership also reunites key industry figures, with Borchetta Entertainment Group founder Scott Borchetta praising the shared history and confidence behind the move. With new music on the horizon and momentum firmly on her side, Pearce’s latest signing signals the start of an exciting new chapter for one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers.
