History edit
The company was founded in 2002 by David Macias and Deb Markland and is distributed by The Orchard.[2][3]
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.[4][5]
In 2016, Thirty Tigers partnered with Triple 8 Management and Sony Music to create the country label Triple Tigers.[6] Triple Tigers signed Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery as its first acts.
