NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today EDGEOUT RECORDS announces the opening of their Nashville office. Located at UMG's Iconic East Iris Studios (former House Of Blues Studios) in Nashville's Berry Hill neighborhood. The Nashville office will be managed by EDGEOUT's Los Angeles staff, based out of UMG's Santa Monica office. Jena Yannone, EDGEOUT's Senior Director of Digital Media & Content, has relocated to Nashville to oversee day-to-day operations.

EDGEOUT Records signs young rock musicians that successfully complete an exclusive artist development program, "THE STUDIO." The label's mission is to develop aspects of an artist's career including their overall sound, song structure, live stage performance, image/branding, personal wellness, and the art of the music business. EDGEOUT also signs established rock artists with specialty projects.

The label is home to revered guitar-dance artist ASHBA (the founder of GDM, a sub-genre of electronic music), pop-rock band The Revelries, pop/rock-blues psych rock band Bluphoria, alternative rock band The Jacks and pop-punk band Stratejacket.

Currently EDGEOUT provides artists access to "THE STUDIO" artist development program based in Los Angeles and the label is thrilled about the opportunity to expand these services into Nashville's increasingly dynamic music scene. The label's Nashville outpost is a great example of EDGEOUT's ongoing growth and commitment to developing new rock talent.

"With all the emerging young rock bands and artists in Nashville we felt it important and necessary to have a presence," says EDGEOUT's Founder Tony Guanci.  "We have already begun working on a number of exciting opportunities to support the Nashville music scene and are thrilled to be located at UMG's historic East Iris Studios."

EDGEOUT's global distribution, marketing and promotion services is handled through an exclusive label service agreement with Universal Music Group (UMG/UMe), the world's leading music-based entertainment company.
