River House Artists Announces Management Division
River House Artists has announced a management division, The House Management, today.
The House Management, founded by River House EVP, Zebb Luster, and River House Artists’ Founder, Lynn Oliver-Cline, manages some of the most exciting young talent in the country format – Hudson Westbrook, Austin Snell (in partnership with Sabrina Butera at Collide Talent), Kenny Whitmire, Tyce Delk, and Matt Lang (in partnership with Joelle Proulx and Vickye Morin at Agence Ranch) – as well as Christian singer-songwriter, Chevas Phillips.
“Launching The House Management is an incredibly exciting moment,” Zebb Luster, Co-Founder of The House and EVP of River House Artists, shares. “More than anything, it’s about the artists. I’m grateful for the trust they’ve placed in us, and we continue to be inspired by their talent, work ethic, and vision. Each of them has something truly special, and it’s a privilege to help them build lasting careers.”
Over the past 10 years, River House Artists has become known for identifying and developing distinct voices, championing songs with lasting impact, and building a creative culture where artists, writers, and staff work collaboratively in service of the music. The House Management expands on that legacy, partnering with unique talent to bring each artist’s vision for their career and aspirations to life.
“We launched this company out of our passion for artists and our belief that great management requires more than strategy,” Luster continues. “It requires being fully invested in every detail of an artist’s journey. Our goal is simple: to help exceptional talent reach its full potential while creating a team they’re proud to have in their corner.”
“10 years in, I could not be more proud of what we’ve built at River House Artists. I started my career 32 years ago with Hootie & the Blowfish, and it’s amazing to see all the relationships that have been built along the way and how they have helped make River House Artists what it is — a truly artist-first music company,” Founder Lynn Oliver-Cline shares. “We are there from the time a song is being written, to when it’s being played on a global stage.”
The new management division has hired Ally Ramirez (Manager, Hudson Westbrook and Tyce Delk) and Zac Brooks (Manager, Austin Snell and Kenny Whitmire). Ramirez has been with River House since 2023 and Brooks transitions to the Day-To-Day Manager role following several years on the road as a Tour Manager for Snell.
“Ally and Zac have been instrumental in shaping the culture of our management team. There’s no one I trust more to be in the trenches with our artists every day,” Luster says. “They bring a high level of care, intention, and attention to detail to everything they do, always putting the artist first. Their ability to anticipate needs, solve problems, and execute at a high level is what allows our artists to thrive. This company and the experience we provide our artists would not be the same without them both.”
“I continue to be more and more proud of Zebb and his leadership,” Oliver-Cline continues. “He has learned every channel of this business, and not only has passion and grace for our roster of clients, but comes armed with the knowledge to help them become globally-reaching talent.”
