Jonas Group Launches Red Van Records
• Jonas Group Entertainment (JGE) and founder Kevin Jonas, Sr. announce the launch of Red Van Records. Under the leadership of JGE CEO, Phil Guerini, the label will operate out of the JGE offices on Music Row in Nashville. Red Van Records is proud to announce the signing of their first artist — acclaimed writer and singer, Nashville native, Levi Hummon.
The name for the label came from the red van that the Jonas family originally toured the country in. “I can’t begin to guess how many hours and miles we logged driving the guys around the country in that van, but it represents the commitment you make to be in the music industry,” said Jonas Sr. “We were always building and in motion and that’s the philosophy of Red Van Records.”
The label’s first signing is multi-talented musician Levi Hummon, who will release his first Red Van Records’ song, “Paying For It” with Walker Hayes on Oct. 27. “With the values and ideals that are the foundation of Red Van Records, Levi is the perfect artist to launch our label,” said Guerini. “He is so well respected in the music community as a complete artist, and he has been tireless in his pursuit of music and taking it to the fans on the road. It’s the unrelenting pace and ‘firsts’ of the early days that may seem small at the time, but like the red van, they are the start of something truly special.”
Label services for Red Van Records will be provided by Dan Pearson‘s Lakeside Entertainment Group. With more than twenty years of both independent and major label experience, the Lakeside team has broken a wide range of artists across multiple formats and platforms.
