Country superstar Carly Pearce has signed with Narvel Blackstock‘s Starstruck Management, it was announced on Wednesday (July 13). With this transition, the reigning ACM and CMA Female Vocalist of the Year joins a roster that boasts clients such as Blake Shelton, Maggie Rose, and more.
“I have always admired the way that Narvel approaches a career from all sides. It is no secret that he knows how to make artists superstars,” Pearce tells Billboard. “I’m so looking forward to working with someone who will challenge, push and help take me to the next level.”
“I have been following Carly’s career from the very beginning. She has shown that she has the talent, desire and work ethic to be a superstar. I look forward to helping make that dream come true,” Blackstock tells Billboard.
A newly added Grand Ole Opry member, the Big Machine recording artist topped the charts in May with her smash duet “Never Wanted to Be That Girl,” featuring Ashley McBryde. The collaboration took home the award for ACM Music Event of the Year. Upon hitting the peak at country radio, Pearce caught up with MusicRow to talk about the historic No. 1.
Following her own headlining theater tour this past spring, Pearce is currently opening for Kenny Chesney this summer on his “Here And Now 2022” tour. She will also be taking over Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium for two back-to-back nights, marking her first headlining dates at the Mother Church of Country Music.
Pearce, who will host the ACM Honors in August, will also be headlining the Grand Ole Prix show at the upcoming Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on Aug. 7 alongside Brantley Gilbert, Midland, and Callista Clark.
Pearce was formerly managed by Clint Higham and Kyle Quigley at Morris Higham since 2019.
