Under the agreement, Warner/Chappell will continue to publish and administer THiS Music's repertoire.

"THiS Music is a renowned Nashville brand known for top shelf hit songs, and extraordinary songwriters who are helped to achieve their best by Rusty and his team," said Ben Vaughn, Executive Vice President, Warner/Chappell Music Nashville. "On behalf of everyone at Warner/Chappell Music, it is with great pleasure that we announce the continuation of our partnership with Rusty, Tim and Connie."
