OUR MISSION

Gold Ship Records is East Tennessee’s premier independent record label representing artists worldwide and located in the heart of the Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol, Tennessee.

Gold Ship is not your stereotypical label.

At Gold Ship we value originality and drive over all else. Our roster of artists ride the genre lines and encompass a vast range of styles.

Here our goal is to build the artists as individuals and as a family so that they have the tools they need to thrive and garner the attention they deserve.

With years of being in the industry we understand the flaws of the past and current system.

The idea of a label being a glorified bank has been wrong. It has hindered artists’ growth due to debt and stopped the development of their craft.

 

We are not and will never be a typical record label.
