Thirty Tigers is an American music marketing, distribution and management company for independent artists, based in Nashville.
History
The company was founded in 2002 by David Macias and Deb Markland and is distributed by The Orchard.
In 2014, Thirty Tigers entered into a strategic partnership with Sony Music Nashville to promote Chase Rice's single "Ready Set Roll" and album Ignite the Night. This was possibly the first time in country music that a major label paid only for radio promotion.
In 2016, Thirty Tigers partnered with Triple 8 Management and Sony Music to create the country-music label Triple Tigers. Triple Tigers signed Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery as its first acts.
In 2024, The Black Opry launched its label in conjunction with Thirty Tigers.
