"From the second I saw Ethan, I knew he was something special," says Carla Wallace, co-owner and CEO of Big Yellow Dog Music. "He has such a unique way of connecting with his fans, and we're thrilled to welcome him to the BYDM family."

"Having only been in Nashville for a few months it felt crazy — but right — to find a publishing home at Big Yellow Dog Music," says Garner. "I’m so excited to work and get my music out there with a team that really believes in me."

Garner joins a roster that includes GRAMMY-winning songwriter Daniel Tashian, producer Jared Conrad (Ian Munsick), 2022 Variety Hitmaker Dave Pittenger, Billboard chart-topping artist Jessie James Decker and more. He is managed by Matt Musacchio of Champ Management/Red Light Management. 

Fans can expect new music from Garner in 2025 and upcoming shows in Nashville, TN at Brown's Diner (2.19) and Losers Bar (2.24). To stay up-to-date, follow @ethangarnerr on Instagram and @ethangarnermusic on TikTok.
