Church, Peets Launch Solid: Eric Church and longtime manager John Peets have partnered to launch Solid Entertainment overseeing his professional footprint, including SiriusXM channel Outsider's Radio, Lower Broadway restaurant/venue Chief's, in-house merchandise and the Church Choir fan club. Industry vet Marshall Alexander has been named President and will be Church's representative for Chief's. Day-to-day management for Church will be handled by Brandon Schneeberger. Industry vets Shane Allen and Kimsey Kerr oversee Outsider's Radio. Bryan Chisholm joins as digital marketing lead, Hayley Harris manages the Church Choir and Matt Wheeler continues to oversee Chief Merchandise.

"As our business continues to expand in different areas, it was important to me to establish a team of people that is focused on this growth," Church says. "None of us got into music for the business of it, yet it’s part of how we are our most creative selves: through finding those other avenues for connection." Peets adds, "We have been working creatively together since 2004, and Solid Entertainment represents a fresh look and a continued commitment to all that we have built."
