Ryan Bingham Signs With WME for Worldwide Music Representation

Ryan Bingham has signed with WME for worldwide music representation, the agency confirmed on 30 July 2026. The move places one of Americana's most decorated artists with one of the biggest talent agencies in the business. Bingham continues to be represented by Jack Whigham at Range Media Partners for film and television work — meaning the new deal covers his music career, not his acting roles. Variety

The signing comes at a busy stretch for Bingham. In May 2026 he released They Call Us the Lucky Ones, his first full-length album recorded with backing band the Texas Gentlemen. He headlined the Still Gettin' Away With It Tour '26, which ran through June. And starting in late July 2026, he is scheduled to support Zach Bryan on stadium dates in San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Glendale, Arizona. Variety

Those stadium slots are not the first time Bingham has opened for Bryan at that scale. In September 2025, Bingham supported Bryan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. That show drew 112,408 attendees, the largest ticketed concert audience in U.S. history. Variety

On 17 June 2026, Bingham released the official music video for his song "Let The Big Dog Eat." Sacks & Co.

Bingham's career stretches back more than two decades. He released his indie debut album Wishbone Saloon in 2002, then his major-label debut Mescalito in 2007. The turning point came in 2010, when he co-wrote and performed two songs on the Crazy Heart soundtrack, including "The Weary Kind." That single earned him an Oscar, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, and a Critics' Choice Award. The same year, the Americana Music Association named him Artist of the Year. Variety

Television audiences may know him as much as a face as a voice. Bingham played the recurring role of Walker on Paramount's Yellowstone, and his song "Wolves," from the album American Love Song, was heavily featured on the series. Variety

For fans, the WME signing signals that Bingham's touring and recording momentum will keep building. A new album, a major tour just wrapped, stadium dates ahead, and now a new agency partner — the second half of 2026 is shaping up to be one of the fullest stretches of his career.
