Ryan Adams' Multi-Track Compilation Album Meets Phenomenal Success Following Combined Efforts of Silva Artist Management and TuneCore

LOS ANGELES and BROOKLYN, N.Y., Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan Adams' multi-track compilation album, Life After Deaf, has met with phenomenal success thanks not only to its incredible performances but also to the combined efforts of Silva Artist Management a/k/a SAM and TuneCore.

Following the 15-disc live vinyl box set–which sold out almost instantly–SAM worked with TuneCore, the leading music distribution company and publishing administrator, to distribute a 174-track version.

"TuneCore made it easy to make sure everyone who wanted the music was able to get it – even if they couldn't get one of the crazy rare physical boxes," John Silva, CEO Silva Artists Management, said. "Their dedication to fair, efficient and reputable artist distribution aligns well with SAM's mission to give music artists the best quality service possible. Artists are TuneCore's first priority," Silva added.

Scott Ackerman, TuneCore's COO, said, "Working with the Silva Artists Management team has been an energizing experience. They are professional and have such incredible talent. We are already looking toward the next project."

Silva Artists Management, also known as SAM, has been one of the foremost artist management companies in music since its inception. As long-time exclusive representation for not only Ryan Adams but Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, Queens of the Stone Age, Band of Horses, Jimmy Eat World and Nirvana among others, SAM has long set the standard for preserving artistic integrity, vision and success.
