Maggie Antone Inks With Island Records

09-01-2026

(IR) Nashville-based singer-songwriter Maggie Antone has signed with Island Records. Known for her candid songwriting and a sound that moves naturally between country, Americana, and pop, Maggie has built a growing audience through her independent releases and a steady run of live performances.

Of the signing, Maggie expresses, "Partnering with Island feels so serendipitous, and though it's bittersweet to no longer be an independent artist, I feel more independent than ever. It just feels so right." See Maggie's Instagram post announcing the signing here.

"Maggie is a rare kind of artist-an excellent songwriter with a distinct voice and deep understanding of who she is." said Jackie Winkler, Head of A&R. "She has built an authentic connection with her fans on her own terms, and we're excited to support her as she enters this next chapter," said Justin Eshak and Imran Majid, Co-Chairmen and CEOs of Island Records.

In 2024, Maggie released her debut album, Rhinestoned, through her independent label, Big Love. Its opening track, "Johnny Moonshine," has earned more than 12 million streams on Spotify. That year, she toured alongside 49 Winchester, Trampled by Turtles, and Kat Hasty, and made her in Grand Ole Opry debut.

She continued building momentum in 2025 with performances at ACL Fest, Windy City Smokeout, and Under the Big Sky, as well as the release of "The Devil's Not In Hell." Her music has received praise from People, Billboard, Holler, and Rough Trade, which recognized the vulnerability and emotional connection at the heart of her songwriting.

Maggie will next perform at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in Bristol, Tennessee, on September 13, followed by the State Fair of Texas in Dallas on October 13.
