About
Sound Artist Support provides custom marketing, administrative support and management direction to independent artists across a diverse array of genres including folk, country, jazz, classical, rock, and children’s. These artists, operating outside of the context of a major record label and/or management firm, benefit from owner Brian Horner’s extensive and varied experience, his creative and non-traditional marketing concepts and his unique perspective as a businessman who is also a renowned recording and performing artist.
The wide range of services offered by SAS is the result of Horner’s 20+ years of music industry experience – non-profit management, marketing, promotion and operations for the Nashville Chamber Orchestra, and major label publicity, sales, marketing and creative services for artists such as Big & Rich, Blake Shelton, Faith Hill, Larry The Cable Guy and Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This variety of experience allows him to provide the services of several different “departments” within a flexible and economical pricing structure.

“Sound Artist Support has what the independent artist needs – that is to say, a little bit of everything. From tour press to marketing ideas to administrative tasks, SAS does the work that I can’t or don’t have time to do, leaving me precious time to do what’s important – make music. It’s like having a manager, personal assistant and publicist on call.”

“I have been working with Brian Horner since 2008, and the leap forward in my career goals has been remarkable. Brian has that special gift of being able to really get things done, make the calls, etc., yet never come off as pushy to anybody. This is a quality that is both rare and invaluable. I can always rest assured that I’m being represented in the best light by a very fine manager and person.”
