Fitzgerald Hartley To Close: The Fitzgerald Hartley Company co-founders Larry Fitzgerald and Mark Hartley will close their entertainment firm after 42 years, effective at the end of 2019. The company currently has offices in Nashville and Ventura, CA. Fitzgerald will scale back on his management roles to focus solely on longtime client Vince Gill, while Hartley will continue in artist management and development of film and television properties. "Mark and I forged a collaboration that has been successful, both personally and professionally, beyond our wildest dreams," says Fitzgerald. "Now, I want to concentrate my efforts toward Vince." Adds Hartley, "It has been a great ride and does not seem like a 42-year run. We have been blessed to be able to collaborate with such amazingly talented artists and partners." Aside from Fitzgerald and Hartley, the firm's other managers include Nick Hartley, Bill Simmons and Steve Emley; the roster includes Chris Young, Brad Paisley, Morgan Evans, Randy Houser and Tracy Lawrence.
