BBR Music Group and BMG Nashville have signed Canadian country star Jade Eagleson.
The singer from Ballieboro, Ontario is a major voice in Canada's rising country scene, earning five No. 1 songs on the Billboard Canada Country chart and seven additional top ten singles on the chart. Many of his chart-toppers, including "All Night to Figure It Out," "More Drinkin' Than Fishin'" and "She Don't Know" have also impacted the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.
“I’m incredibly excited to begin my journey with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville,” says Eagleson. “I have always had a profound respect for their team and the way they love and elevate their artists. The whole team feels like family and I’m so very proud to call this label my home."

He joins a prestigious lineup of artists signed to the storied Nashville label and its subsidiaries, including Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and Blake Shelton. It's a big look for a Canadian artist, as the genre continues to witness a surge in popularity in Canada, with country songs sweeping the top spots on the Billboard Canada charts and festivals like LASSO in Montreal growing at a fast pace.
“Jade represents so much of what everyone loves about this format. He knows exactly who he is as an artist, has an undeniable respect for the genre and has built an incredible career by staying true to that,” says JoJamie Hahr, executive vice president of BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. “What he has already accomplished is impressive, but we believe there is so much more ahead. We’re thrilled to welcome Jade to the family and excited to be part of this next chapter.”
The Canadian artist has also expanded his professional team in a number of areas, signing with Range Music for management, CAA for booking and Spirit Music, in a joint venture with Alliance Music Partners, for publishing.

Eagleson took home the award for male artist of the year at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs). He's once again nominated in that category at this year's CCMAs, along with the fan choice award. With a new team covering different aspects of his career, the Ontario native is eager to scale his music and career on a global level.
“Spirit Music has been a big fan of Jade Eagleson for years,” shares Frank Rogers, CEO Spirit Music. We are excited to partner with Jade and help let the rest of the world discover what we (and all of Canada) have been excited about for a long time! Let’s go!”
Eagleson performed at the historical Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in 2024. He kicked off 2026 by touring across Canada on his Coming Soon to a Honkytonk Near You tour, which is still underway in the United States.
“Jade has achieved remarkable success, and I am beyond excited to partner with him and Spirit Music on this next chapter,” says Abbey Adams, Co-Founder, Alliance Music Partners. “This is a pivotal point for Jade, the possibilities are endless, and we’re thrilled to be a part of creating something even bigger with him.”
