LONG TIME ARTIST MANAGER GARY BORMAN
TO RETIRE, SHUTTERING BORMAN ENTERTAINMENT

One of the music industry’s most respected artist managers, Gary Borman, has retired, shuttering the doors of his company’s namesake 50 years after its inception. During that time, Borman Entertainment has represented an eclectic array of highly acclaimed artists, as diverse as The Yellowjackets, The Bee Gees, James Taylor, The Violent Femmes, Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill and along with Steve Moir, The Rolling Stones and Natalie Cole. The retirement also brings to an end his 25-year professional relationship with Keith Urban.

“To say I’ve been lucky to have spent my time doing what I’ve loved, would be an understatement,” says Borman. “I’ve worked side by side with some of the most gifted artists. I’m grateful beyond words to all the teachers, artists, colleagues, collaborators, supporters, Lady Luck, as well as the adversaries and turbulent moments that sharpened my resolve and taught me how to manage emotion and life.”

“I’m so grateful to Gary (and my entire Borman Nashville family) for the most incredible and successful time together,” said Urban. “It was extraordinary - what we were able to accomplish together - and I’ll forever be grateful for the creative and collaborative spirit we were all a part of for so long. I wish Gary and everyone at Borman Entertainment the very best journey ahead and look forward to what the future holds for all of us.”

“Keith and I shared a journey not unlike brothers,” added Borman. “The place that I have in my heart will remain warm and my mind filled with wonderful memories. I have been and will remain a fan.”
