tate music group...no 'gamble' here


Definitely not. Today was an incredible day at Tate Music Group and Tate Publishing. As you can see in the picture...the legendary Kenny Rogers came to our offices to visit with us about partnering with music, books, and many other possibilities. It was a great day!

And may I just say what an impressive and gracious man Kenny Rogers is. He was more interested in talking with us and listening to so many of our stories than in telling us about himself. He even took the time to talk to and take pictures with group of artists who happened to be in the offices today, too. Needless to say, they were surprised by that in more ways than one.

Our founder, Dr. Richard Tate has a saying - "It isn't success that spoils people...it is failure." After today...I know that to be even more true. Kenny Rogers is one of the most successful artists in history...and has the kind of worldwide name recognition that is found in only a handful of artists. Yet, he is so humble and generous with his time.

This was truly a great day for us here at Tate Music Group. The music industry is often about who you know...and what they are saying about you. Well, it is very clear that the word on the streets of Nashville (and beyond) regarding Tate Music Group...is very good. If you don't believe me...just ask the Gambler.
