Happy 10th Birthday, Triple Tigers
• Nashville-based independent record label, Triple Tigers Records recently celebrated 10 years of multi-Platinum, chart-topping success. Founded in 2016 as a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment’s The Orchard and Triple 8 Management, Triple Tigers is lead by a powerhouse team that includes George Couri (Founder & Managing Partner), Annie Ortmeier (Co-President), Raffaella Braun (Co-President), Laura Hostelley (VP of Marketing), Chris Palmer (Triple Tigers Records/AKANDO Music VP of National Promotion) and Kevin Herring (Label Strategy Consultant; former Co-President).
Boasting 18 No. 1 radio singles, 36 RIAA Gold and Platinum Certifications and nearly 10 billion cumulative streams, the 2026 CRS/Country Aircheck Awards’ “Platinum Label of the Year” recipients have been the stewards of success for their stellar roster of artists which includes Scotty McCreery, Russell Dickerson, Ian Munsick and rising star, Shane Profitt, as well as a partnership with Columbia Records on Ella Langleysince her first solo radio single, “Weren’t For The Wind.”
Last year Triple Tigers Records expanded its promotional efforts with Akando Music, a secondary Country radio promotion team to accommodate the demand for non-Triple Tigers artists seeking national Country radio promotion. Current artists include Chris Young, Turnpike Troubadours and Tyler Nance.
