Gary Borman, longtime artist manager and founder of Borman Entertainment, has retired.
Borman Entertainment has closed following his retirement. During the 50 years since its inception, the company has represented a wide array of artists, including The Yellowjackets, The Bee Gees, James Taylor, The Violent Femmes, Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill, Steve Moir, The Rolling Stones and Natalie Cole, among others.
“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.”
The retirement also brings to an end his 25-year professional relationship with Keith Urban.
“I’m so grateful to Gary (and my entire Borman Nashville family) for the most incredible and successful time together,” shares 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,” adds 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.”
