Spring 2025 Intern Wrap-Up!

by Julia Reiss

As my internship at Olivia Management ends, I’ve been reflecting on just how much I’ve learned and grown over the past few months. From day one, we were encouraged to dive in, ask questions, and soak up as much as we could. This blog post is a collection of reflections from me and my fellow interns—each of us sharing what made this experience meaningful, inspiring, and unforgettable.

Julia Reiss

"Interning at Olivia Management was the perfect way to wrap up my college experience. As my last internship before graduating this May and entering the real world, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better one. The OM team is incredibly supportive and welcoming, and every day in the office was genuinely fun. I learned so much about what it means to support artists behind the scenes, and being part of a team that puts so much heart into everything they do made the experience even more special. Erin has been the absolute best boss—she’s so knowledgeable about the industry and always takes the time to offer guidance and support. Whether it’s answering questions, sharing advice, or encouraging us to trust ourselves, she truly cares about helping us grow. I’m so grateful to have learned from her and to have been a part of such a kind and passionate team.”

 

Lillian Creasy

“Interning at Olivia Management has been the best experience I could have asked for. Everyone says "right place right time" and this was DEFINITELY the right place and the right time. It was a big deal to move 10 hours away from the home I've known and loved for 22 years, but Erin and the team at Olivia Management were the most welcoming. I have gained so much experience and knowledge working alongside the wonderful women at OM. Erin has been an open book of knowledge and wisdom and I couldn't be more grateful to have worked underneath her. No amount of words can explain how thankful I am to Erin and the other staff members at OM for creating such a welcoming space, while also setting goals for us to accomplish. I'll forever miss our weekly Monday morning meetings, our snack corner, and all the amazing people at OM!”

 

Sam Van Arsdale

“Interning at Olivia Management for the past few months has been one of the most encouraging and lovely experiences! Within the first day of being here, I was treated as a vital part of the team and workspace, and I think that is a very rare thing to experience at any internship, let alone a first! Throughout my time at OM, I have gained so much valuable knowledge about everything that goes into growing and sustaining an artist's career. I was met with so much grace and understanding by the ladies on the OM team when given new and exciting tasks every day. I'll miss the ability to be in the office every other day where I not only get to listen in on meetings with artists and other important people in artists' careers, but where I also have been able to meet a couple of OM's amazing artists and make meaningful connections with each individual team member. All of that being said, the way Erin was such an open book and was so generous with her time truly made the internship even more worthwhile. It displays the way the OM team cares about not just the company but the future of the music industry in general. If it wasn't already obvious, I loved every minute of this semester and am so grateful for the opportunity to have interned here!”

 

Faith Harting

“I’ve had the incredible privilege of interning at Olivia Management throughout my senior year, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The knowledge and experience gained here are truly invaluable. The team is amazing —always supportive, patient, and willing to answer any questions I have. I’ve genuinely loved and enjoyed working with each one of them. This experience has taught me so much about the music industry, from day to day operations to the bigger picture. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to contribute and grow my professional skills in such a positive and supportive environment.”

 

If any of this sounded interesting to you and you want to be a part of an amazing team, I definitely recommend applying (applications for Fall 2025 internships go live mid-june). This internship has been such a rewarding experience, and it's a great way to learn, grow, and work with some truly awesome people.

Olivia Management Awarded Top 100 at the Belmont Entrepreneur Awards

by Julia Reiss

For the past six years, Belmont University’s Thomas F. Cone Sr. Center for Entrepreneurship has proudly hosted the annual Belmont Entrepreneur Awards. The 2025 event, held on March 31st, brought together 100 of Belmont’s most accomplished alumni entrepreneurs. For the past 6 years, Erin Anderson, Founder and CEO of Olivia Management, has been a part of this prestigious group.

The Belmont Entrepreneur Awards highlight the incredible impact of the University’s alumni, not only celebrating their success but also showing how Belmont continues to support its entrepreneurial community. The event highlights the University's role in shaping the next generation of business leaders; providing a valuable opportunity for alumni to connect, collaborate, and share their insights while offering guidance to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Erin’s long-standing involvement in the awards reflects her commitment to giving back. As an adjunct professor, she teaches an entrepreneurship class at Belmont, where she shares her real-world experience with students and helps them refine their business ideas. At this years event, she was able to introduce a few of her current students, the top 100 of the future, and share what they do and how the program works to supports them. Her dedication to the next generation of entrepreneurs is a perfect example of how Belmont continues to foster a thriving and supportive entrepreneurial community.

Below, Erin shares her thoughts on the the event and what it means to her and the Belmont community.

“Each year, it's exciting to see the other nominees and discover that many businesses I admire or support are also Belmont alumni and part of this program. I always feel like I’m in really good company.” - Erin Anderson

“I am really honored that we have been selected all six years of the program existing, and I’m always so honored that our work with artists is recognized.” - Erin Anderson

A Day in the Life of an Olivia Management Intern!

By Faith Harting

Hi everyone! I’m Faith Harting and I am an intern here at Olivia Management. Today I am going to take you along with me for my day as an intern!


9:00am

I get to the office at 9am, say hi to everyone in the office, log onto Slack, and say good morning on there! 

First I look through all my notifications and see what happened on the days I wasn’t working. Then I go to Asana, our task software, and start on tasks that I may need to continue working on or any repeating tasks! (I am the OM Social Media Maven every week, which means coming up with ideas for the OM Instagram each week and keeping track of how each post does!) 

After that, I check the #interntasks slack channel and see if there are any tasks that need to be claimed!

10:00am

Since it is a Monday we have a staff meeting!

Everyone at OM (including the interns) joins this meeting either in the office or over Google Meets. During these meetings, we read our affirmations that we write each other each week, share one thing we are proud of ourselves for, and then go through each of our artists and discuss what we need to accomplish this week for them. 

These staff meetings are one of the best parts of interning at OM, in my opinion, because they’re always a little positivity boost that we could all use at the beginning of the week. It’s also really nice to be a part of these meetings as an intern so I can understand what we are working towards.

10:30/10:45am

After the meeting, I continue doing tasks!

12:00pm

I am a student at Belmont University so I have to leave around 12pm to go to my French class. On my way to campus, I stopped at Surefire (which is just outside the building) to get an iced chai latte with campfire syrup. Their campfire syrup is the absolute BEST.

1:00pm - 1:50pm 

French Class!

2:30 pm

I get back to OM at 2:30pm. Another weekly task I have is to get snacks for the office! I messaged in Slack to get everyone’s snack requests to make sure I get things everyone likes! Some of our staple snacks are:

  • Strawberry/Blueberry Poptarts

  • String cheese sticks

  • Fruit snacks

  • Pretzel crisps

  • Fig Newtons

  • Lime La Croix

  • Strawberry Lemon Poppi

Then I drive over to Publix (which is just around the corner) and get everything on my list!

When I get back from the store, I put everything away and reorganize the snack shelf and fridges a little. Then I checked asana/slack for my next task!

SNACKS!


5:00pm

Our work day is over at 5pm and we all log off for the day and head home!

Thanks for coming along with me for my day as an intern at Olivia Management! I hope this gave you a little bit of insight into the day to day at an artist management company. See you in the next blog!

Hey, you!

Yes, you! Liking what you’ve read? We’re currently on the lookout for new interns to join the team for the Summer and Fall Semester of 2025 for school credit. Here’s the link to the application if you’re interested!

Some of our Favorite Artists to Support on Patreon

by Julia Reiss

These days, platforms like Patreon are changing the game for artists by helping them connect with fans in a new way. Patreon lets fans support their favorite creators through monthly subscriptions, giving them access to exclusive content and a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Plus, Patreon gives fans a real sense of involvement—by subscribing, they get to be part of the artist's journey, offering feedback, getting sneak peeks, and feeling like they’re helping shape the work they love.

We’re proud to support platforms that help our artists thrive, and it's amazing to see how much stronger these connections can make the art community as a whole. Whether it’s through exclusive tracks, live chats, or early access to shows, Patreon is a great way for artists to stay connected with their audience and keep the creativity flowing! Our very own Alex Blue, Derek Webb, and Ruthie Collins, use Patreon if this sounds like something up your ally. 

Besides our management clients, two of our favorite artists to support on Patreon are Flamy Grant, whose music and vibrant energy light up every post, and Spencer LaJoye, whose captivating performances and insider content keep fans coming back for more. Here’s a closer look at their Patreon pages, where you can get a taste of the exclusive content they share with their loyal supporters, along with a brief overview of what makes each of them so special.

Spencer LaJoye

“I’m Spencer LaJoye, a singer/songwriter who believes everyone is made of the good stuff. 

This means my patreon is a little different. It doesn’t matter whether you can afford to support me with $1 a month or $50. You matter, regardless of how much you can bring to the table, so y’all get the same stuff. Obviously, your $50 is helping this hardworking musician make rent, but I’m also grateful for his constructive comment on my new song, and her personal email to me about my last album release, and their post about my show on social media. We all have things to offer, and it isn’t always money. In this community, I am thankful for all of it.

I want to write more songs, have bigger conversations, and create more space. I need your help to do it sustainably. And when you become my patron here for $1, $10, $25 a month, you join a family of folks who believe in revolutionary empathy. See, I believe that music can change the world simply by making us feel something, and that feeling something is an act of defiance against a system that would have us go defensively numb.” (Spencer LaJoye Patreon bio)

Flamy Grant

“I'm a singing drag queen working to slay the shame that was heaped on us growing up in American evangelicalism (or any fundamentalist, high-demand religion). This Patreon is a sibling-hood of shame-slayers helping people heal from religious trauma and feel empowered through fabulous drag, music, and connection to each other. Join us, and thank you so much for supporting my work!” (Flamy Grant Patreon bio)

Josh Radnor Brings "Eulogy II" to Life on Tour

by Julia Reiss

We’re thrilled that our very own Josh Radnor is hitting the road for The Eulogy II Tour! This tour marks an exciting chapter for Josh as he brings his unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and musical talent to audiences across the country, featuring songs from his new album, Eulogy, Vol II.
Visit joshradnor.com to find tour dates and venues near you—don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable live performance!

Eulogy II Album Cover

Behind The Album

In early 2022, Josh Radnor left Los Angeles after a tough breakup and turned to music for healing. With his dog Nelson and a collection of songs, he headed to Nashville, where he created his debut solo double album, Eulogy: Volume I + II. Through this process, he transformed personal heartache into a powerful journey of reflection and growth.

The result is a 23-track folk-Americana collection that blends timeless storytelling with intimate, meditative melodies. Produced by a team of Nashville collaborators, the album combines classic Americana sturdiness with modern twists, drawing comparisons to legendary artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Radnor describes the songs as “mini-funerals,” each one honoring and letting go of parts of himself no longer serving him. Vulnerability and introspection are woven into every track, creating a deeply emotional and relatable listening experience.

Stay connected with Josh Radnor and keep up with all the latest updates, music, and tour announcements by following him on social media! Check out his pages below and join the journey:

Mary Gauthier plays the Ryman, opening for Jason Isbell

By Charlotte Ulman

On October 12th our very own Mary Gauthier opened for Jason Isbell at the Ryman! The Ryman holds a special place in Nashville’s music history, and for Mary to perform on that stage, especially alongside an artist like Jason Isbell, was a significant milestone. This was Mary’s first full set at the Ryman!

The Ryman's atmosphere and acoustics were a perfect match for Mary’s music, allowing her voice and lyrics to fill the room with an intimate, haunting beauty. Songs like “Mercy Now” resonate with themes of resilience, empathy, and redemption. We could see her stories striking a chord with the audience. She ended her set to a complete standing ovation from the crowd! It’s always rewarding to witness Mary’s work touch people in such a powerful way, especially in a venue that has hosted so many of the greats. The audience was drawn into her every word, and the energy in the room was palpable. Check out the videos and pictures below of that night!

Welcoming our Fall 2024 Interns!

Here at Olivia Management, we thrive off of teamwork, which is why it’s so exciting every season when we get to welcome our new interns! This fall, we have four lovely student interns from Belmont University joining our team to help us serve our artists!

 

Alexa Sangalis

Alexa Sangalis

Alexa is a senior songwriting major and music business minor at Belmont University. She’s been obsessed with the songs “Second Nature” by Clairo and “360” by Charli XCX. Though it can’t be pinpointed to this exact moment, Alexa shares that she remembers begging her mom for a guitar when she was 7 and her love for music has only grown since then. Her favorite places in Nashville are (not biased at all) Belmont and the music venues in town!

 

Charlotte Ulman

Charlotte Ulman

Charlotte is a senior music business major with an emphasis in tour operations at Belmont University. As of recent, Twenty One Pilots and Jeremy Zucker have been frequent artists she’s been listening to. Her interest for the music industry and desire to be a part of the live show process sparked from playing guitar in School of Rock growing up and going to concerts! Her favorite places in Nashville are music venues, specifically Brooklyn Bowl and The Basement East.

 

Faith Harting

Faith Harting

Faith is a senior Media and Entertainment major with a minor of Studio Art at Belmont University. Two songs she’s been enjoying listening to are “Love You Tonight” by Ella Langley and “Roulette on the Heart” by Conner Smith & Hailey Whitters. Growing up, she remembers music always playing around her house, which has brought joy to her life and long-term inspired her to enter into the music business! Her favorite places in Nashville are 21st Ave and 12th South because she loves the cute coffee shops and shopping— more specifically, the sweet little farm stand during the Fall on 12th.

 

Lexi Staebler

Lexi Staebler

Lexi is majoring in songwriting with a minor in music business at Belmont University. Her favorite song right now is “Die with a Smile” by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. Her love for music came from her love for entertaining/being a performer, which has developed into writing her own original music which she plays with her band. Her favorite place in Nashville is the late “WildHorse Saloon,” a classic line-dancing establishment located off of the main Broadway strip.

 

We’re looking forward to another great season, developing and working side by side with our artists!

Our Artists Best Covers

By: Charlotte Ulman

Our artists are not only exceptionally talented songwriters but also remarkable vocalists. Covering another artist's song brings the challenge of honoring the original, and we believe these renditions from Alex Blue, Ruthie Collins, and Street Corner Symphony exceed expectations.

Alex Blue - Never really Over (Katy Perry cover)

Alex Blue's rendition of Katy Perry's "Never Really Over" infuses a vibrant pop energy, delivering a powerful and memorable chorus. Filmed in august of 2019, right on the cusp of a global pandemic, uncertainty, and fear, this cover offers a sense of hope and inclusivity to its listeners. The melody is captivating, and the harmonies stand out beautifully in this performance!

Ruthie Collins - One Last Time (Ariana Grande cover)

We dove deeper to discover this gem: Ruthie Collins performing Ariana Grande’s “One Last Time” backstage before a show in 2015. Collins infuses the pop song with her unique charm, slowing it down and adding a folk twist—a challenging feat for a pop track. Her reimagined rendition transforms the song into a beautiful piece that we absolutely adore!

Street Corner Symphony - The Evolution of Country Music

Street Corner Symphony presents a unique twist with this a cappella cover of iconic country songs spanning from the 1930s to the present day. Their harmonious blend of voices, enhanced by Armand's resonant bass, creates a captivating performance. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, we take pride in seeing our artists connect deeply with the city's rich country music heritage.

Intern Wrap-Up: Ivan Grimblat

by Ivan Grimblat

I met Erin on a Zoom call thanks to my artist management class at Berklee, which taught me virtually nothing, but proved to be extremely useful. She was invited as a guest to talk to us (students) about her experience and how she had started her own company, Olivia Management. I was instantly drawn in and after she mentioned that she was looking for interns for her company, I decided to ask her where to apply and submitted my application.

It didn’t work out the first time, I guess there were more suitable candidates at the time, and I lacked the experience. I remember when I got the email saying they decided to move forward with other candidates, I got very dissapointed. By that time, I had probably applied to over 100 entry-level jobs within the music industry and about 50 music-related internships without any luck. They were all looking for someone with experience.

Even though I was frustrated, I decided to keep trying and started harassing Grace via email, reminding her that I was still looking for an internship in case they were looking for someone for the upcoming term. Until one lucky day, I got an email from Grace, offering me an internship for the summer.

Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to not only start the internship at Olivia Management, but another one, simultaneously. I also got offered another internship for the upcoming term, thanks to the experience I’ve gathered during the past three months.

Looking back at my experience working at Olivia Management, I have to say, I’ve learned a ton. However, it isn’t what I’ve learned these past few months that I treasure the most from this internship, but the way I’ve connected with the people I’ve met through this opportunity.

I’ll always remember Olivia Management as the place that opened the doors of the music industry for me and also as a really fun place that introduced me to an amazing group of people.

Special thanks to Erin, Merk, Grace, Maddy, Mallory & Evan for making this such a valuable experience, hope you all stick around!

Intern Wrap-Up: Evan Gilbreath

In April of 2023, I sat next to my broken radiator in the smallest dorm room (not even fit for a broom closet, if we’re being honest) staring at my computer and biting my nails prior to the daunting Zoom interview. Earlier that afternoon, as the crisp spring showers of London beat down on the canopy of my local Underground Station, I stood by the turnstiles waiting for the rain to pass and pondered if I would ever feel involved in the Nashville music scene again after being abroad. It was quite dramatic, I know, and the gloomy weather didn’t help my spiraling thoughts. However, I couldn’t help but feel disconnected from school, peers, and most importantly, the career field I loved.

But as I spoke with Grace Carey-Hill on the interview I soon felt at peace because I remembered how vibrant and kind some of the people in the Nashville music industry can be. It’s not everyday that you happen across a company like Olivia Management: a women-run artist management firm succeeding and representing iconic artists that add greatly to the musical fabric of Nashville.

Artist management was something I never pictured myself doing, but as I continued my college career, I knew I needed to broaden my horizons. Working with the amazing women of this company, along with the other interns, has led me to greatly consider artist management as a future career. The people at this company have taught me how to girl-boss (girl-bossing is purely a state of mind) my way through challenging tasks, embrace creativity, and most importantly, grab some good Mexican food together when the day’s plans goes awry. This field changes every day and you never know the obstacles you might run into. Olivia Management is committed to excellence, honesty, integrity, and genuine connection, and I don’t think there is any other group of people who illustrates these values as much as Erin, Grace, Mackenzie, and Maddy.

So, as my days at OM continue to dwindle down, I reflect on how grateful I am that I was able to gain these experiences. I am more confident in my future and I know that these amazing people have my back. These are the parts of college that I will never forget.

Cheers,

Evan

The Sewing Club is Saved By the Fans

By Lauren Campbell

While on the road for the Arlie’s Angels Tour, The Sewing Club faced the unexpected. While parked in the Dallas, TX area, over $25k+ of their tour gear and personal belongings were stolen from their tour van. In a time of disbelief and a need for relief, the band turned to the fans for help on GoFundMe.

Lead singer, Hannah McElroy, led the initiative to document the damages and catalog the cost of buying new gear. In a @TheSewingClubBand post on Instagram, as seen below,  the band writes candidly about the difficulties of the offense:

The band had been playing shows everywhere from California, and Texas, to the Carolinas and back since February 2. After the GoFundMe post went live, fans, family, and friends reminded us how much music can unite. Within only four days, The Sewing Club fans had raised over $22k+ in support of the indie rock band’s attempt to finish their tour at SXSW on March 13-19. The band posted on their Instagram to thank fans:

The group has gathered a following with some notable attention deriving from the 73k views on their latest music video for their song "Sport Mode" Likewise, the group debuted their latest single, "On My Own". Due to the kindness of their fanbase, The Sewing Club is now on their way to replacing their stolen gear and finishing their 7-week winter 2023 tour with a milestone achievement of playing a major music fest—which is all made possible by the fans.

If you want to play a part in the relief, you can donate here.

Day In The Life of an OM Intern - Maddie Humble

by Maddie Humble

Hi y’all! It’s Maddie Humble the intern here!

Me and my puppy Charlie!

A little bit about me, I am originally from Chattanooga, TN (Go Lookouts!) but moved to Nashville to pursue a degree in music business at Belmont University in 2019. I am currently looking forward to graduating in May and then getting married to the love of my life in September!

However, that’s enough about me. I am going to be taking you through my day as an intern here at Olivia Management! I have so loved my time working here since January and am currently looking forward to the rest of the semester. It has been so much fun getting to work and make friends with Erin, Merk, Grace, and Maddy. They are the definition of #GIRLBOSS. Also, the artists here at OM rock my socks off!

Now, let’s get into it!

7:00 AM : This is the time I usually wake up. I get ready for the day and try to fit in a little pilates workout.

8:00 AM : I am ready and out of the door by this time. I leave an hour early. (Mainly to beat Nashville morning traffic and to grab myself a Strawberry Oat Milk Matcha Latté from Barista Parlor.)

9:00 AM : This is when my work day at OM starts! Once I get into the office and say hello to everyone, I log in to Slack and Asana to see what kind of tasks I have been assigned for the day.

What I love about working here at Olivia Management is that my assignments can vary from day to day which makes everything so exciting. Some assignments that I enjoy are sending out merch, adding to the wall calendar in the office, creating social media ideas for artists, and of course writing blogs.

The work environment here at OM is so amazing too. We all respect and get along with each other so well. The vibes in the office are always so fun. I have really enjoyed listening to our artists albums throughout the day while we work.

12:00 PM : After getting my morning tasks done, I take a lunch break around noon.

Here are some of our favorite lunch places where you can usually find us on our lunch break here at OM:

The Wash - Whether it’s poke or a cuban sandwich, The Wash has got it all! (And it’s walking distance from the office)

Tower Deli and Market - Try out my favorite, the Italian sandwich or Grace’s favorite, The Cali.

Eastwood Deli - Best specialty sandwiches ever!

Franklin Juice - We always go here if we are craving an acai bowl or a fruity drink.

12:30 PM : I am back in the office by this time finishing all of my tasks for the day.

5:00 PM : This is when my workday here at Olivia Management ends and I head home to Green Hills. After work, I usually wind down with a good book and a glass of wine and am in bed by 10:00 PM.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope this gave you more insight on what it’s like to be an intern here at Olivia Management!

Toodles!

Holiday Season at OM

Halloween has just come to an end and we are now officially moving into the holiday season.
