TORONTO, ON Curated by respected blues historian and long-time host of CBC Radio’s Saturday Night Blues, Holger Petersen and Linus Entertainment today announced the acquisition of the Stony Plain music publishing catalog.
“It’s been just over two years since Linus Entertainment acquired the Stony Plain Records catalog, things have gone so smoothly and they have done such a good job with the recordings it felt like the right home for the publishing catalog as well,” commented Holger Petersen, who started Stony Plain publishing 49 years ago from his home base in Edmonton, Alberta with longtime partner Alvin Jahns.
“These songs are part of the history of North American roots music, written by Grammy, Juno, and Blues Music Award winners, and we couldn’t be prouder to be their music publisher,” stated Linus Entertainment CEO Geoff Kulawick.
