Upcoming releases include music from Oh Boy artist Dan Reeder (whose new album Smithereens will be released in October) and recently signed Palmyra.
Oh Boy Records is one of the oldest independent record labels in the United States, founded by John Prine in 1981 after his major record contract expired.
“Oh Boy is excited to join Secretly Distribution at a time of growth and expansion for both companies. We have long been fans of the artists they work with, but after getting to know their team, we quickly discovered that Secretly cherishes the same Independent Values; these values have driven Secretly Distribution to build a truly independent global distribution network since Oh Boy was founded in 1981. We are honored to represent this great company and are excited to be in Nashville in September. Celebrating our collaboration during AmericanaFest.
“SD have been a fan of Oh Boy for a long time – I have John Prine LPs that I stole from my mom’s collection decades ago. They are a truly iconic American independent label – run by Founded by Artists for artists looking for a sustainable way to release their music outside of the major label system – When I met Jody and Fiona I immediately knew their ethos was perfectly aligned with our efforts for SD “Oh Boy is a cornerstone of the vibrant Nashville scene and we’re beyond excited to partner with them on their incredible catalog and current roster of next-generation folk, country and blues artists,” Artist and Director Josh Madell added.
