Barbara Orbison Adds Industry Song Man Kurt Denny

To Still Working Music Team as VP of Creative

(Nashville-April 10, 2007)  Barbara Orbison and GM/VP, Clay Myers announced today the addition of industry veteran Kurt Denny to the Still Working Music team as VP of Creative.  Denny will be in charge of discovering new talent, working with current writers and exploiting the Still Working Music and Roy Orbison catalogs.

“I’m so pleased to have a publisher like Kurt on my team. His expertise and history in the business are amazing and I know he will be a pleasure to work with,” says Orbison.

Denny is a seasoned music industry veteran with over two decades of working creatively with hit songwriters and seasoned performers under his belt.  Denny got his start in the music business in 1987 as Associate Director of Writer/Publisher Relations for BMI/Nashville, TN.  He continued working in the industry as A&R for MCA Records in Los Angeles.  It was Denny’s move to Los Angeles in 1993 that afforded him the opportunity to work with such acclaimed artists as then newcomer Alanis Morrisette and Russ Kunkel.  Denny played an instrumental part in Morrisette’s career, introducing her to Glenn Ballard, co-writer and producer of her Grammy award -winning debut, Jagged Little Pill. 

Denny returned to Nashville in 1994 and continued to make his mark- working for Warner Chappell and eventually working with Buddy Killen at KMG Music.  Denny was responsible for pitching the career number one #1 hit for LeeAnn Rimes, “One Way Ticket” and has secured cuts by many other great Nashville artists including: Blackhawk, John Anderson, Paul Brandt, John Michael Montgomery, David Kersh, JoDee Messina, Clay Walker, Billy Gillman and Travis Tritt to name a few.

“I have known Kurt for many years as a great song man and he will be a tremendous addition to our growing company,” says Myers.

The hit songwriting roster at Still Working Music includes: Tommy Lee James, Terry McBride, Clay Mills, Billy Burnette, Danielle Peck (Big Machine artist), Jedd Hughes (Capital artist), Nathan Barlowe and Chris Coleman (of rock act Luna Halo on Rick Ruben’s new label), and pop singer Kaci Brown on Interscope Records.

Still Working Music was founded by Barbara Orbison.  The widow and former manager of Roy Orbison created the company with a solid foundation and innate understanding of how to nurture the creative mind.
