Given Founding Partner Cindy Owen made the official announcement earlier today. Owen was McEntire’s Vice President of Creative Services for 15 years, before she opened her own entertainment company in 2002.

The country superstar noted in a press statement that for her, it “starts with the songwriter,” especially since songwriters create something that will make their listeners laugh, lift them up or even break their hearts. McEntire is very excited to be joining the team of Given Music Publishing. She expressed that she has great respect for their creative team, as well as their talented roster of songwriters. “As I continue to explore new creative avenues, this is the perfect home for me as a writer,” McEntire remarked.
