Make Wake Artists Partners With One Twenty One Management

Make Wake Artists, a management company that represents country superstar Luke Combs, announced a partnership with One Twenty One Management, whose roster includes Muscadine Bloodline, Ben Chapman and Josh Weathers.

One Twenty One Management was founded by Adam Hale after serving in the Ohio Army National Guard for six years, which included a deployment to Afghanistan. Hale moved to Nashville to pursue a career in the music industry and spent eight years on the road with artists like Newsboys, Colt Ford, Kip Moore, Brad Paisley and more, gaining experience in artist operations, production, and logistics.

“Some partnerships are special because of the artists, and some are special because of the people – this is both,” notes Make Wake’s Jarrod Holley. “Adam has been one of my closest friends for more than 20 years, so getting the chance to work together at this stage of our careers is a lot of fun. Watching what he, Charlie, Gary and the team have built independently has been phenomenal, and we’re honored they’ve trusted Make Wake with what’s next.”

During his trajectory, Hale met Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton of Muscadine Bloodline and became their manager in 2019. Since then, Hale has overseen multiple project releases, tours and significant support opportunities. The duo eventually received their first ACM nomination for Duo of the Year.

Hale then founded Twenty One Management and added Josh Weathers and Ben Chapman.

“Kappy and I first met years ago in the UK while I was tour managing Kip Moore and he was helping build Luke Combs’ career,” Hale says. “I’ve admired how he’s grown Make Wake with a fan-first mindset, and I believe that philosophy pairs naturally with my artist-first approach built on integrity, communication and execution. On top of that, Jarrod Holley has been one of my closest friends for more than 20 years. We talk every single day, bouncing ideas off each other and helping each other navigate this business, so at some point it just made sense to be working under the same roof. Between that relationship and the resources Make Wake brings to the table, I couldn’t be more excited about what this partnership means for our artists and everything that’s ahead.”

Ivan “Churro” Haro, who is Muscadine Bloodline’s day-to-day-manager, joins Hale in the partnership. Haro manages metalcore band Glasslands and has worked with artists like Morgan Wallen, Tyler Rich, and Matt Stell.

“I’ve always believed that the best partnerships are built on shared values before shared success,” says Chris Kappy, Founder of Make Wake Artists. “Adam Hale and the Muscadine Bloodline team have built something authentic by staying true to who they are, and that’s exactly the kind of artist and people we want to be in business with. At Make Wake Artists, we’re focused on helping exceptional talent create long-term careers without sacrificing their identity. Adam’s vision, leadership and commitment to the band make this a natural fit, and we’re excited to work alongside him as Muscadine Bloodline continues to reach new heights. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the Make Wake family.”
