Ryan Bingham Joins WME for Music Representation
Singer, songwriter, and actor Ryan Bingham, widely recognized for his role in the hit series “Yellowstone,” has officially joined WME (William Morris Endeavor) for global music representation. This strategic move marks a new chapter in his already illustrious career, which has seen him seamlessly navigate between the worlds of music and acting. Bingham’s association with WME is set to further amplify his musical endeavors, while his existing partnership with Range Media Partners continues to manage his film and television commitments.
Bingham's career trajectory showcases a remarkable blend of artistic versatility and consistent output. His journey began nearly a quarter-century ago with the release of his independent debut album, “Wishbone Saloon,” in 2002. Five years later, he made his major-label debut with “Mescalito.” However, it was his significant contribution to the soundtrack of the acclaimed 2010 film “Crazy Heart” that propelled him into the national spotlight. He co-wrote and performed two pivotal songs for the film, including the Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Critics' Choice Award-winning track, “The Weary Kind.” That same year, his contributions to American music were further recognized when he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association.
In recent years, Bingham’s profile has soared once again due to his recurring role as Walker, an ex-convict and musician, on Paramount’s highly popular series “Yellowstone.” The show has prominently featured his original compositions, including “Wolves” from his album “American Love Song,” integrating his musical artistry directly into his acting persona. This exposure has introduced his unique sound to a broader audience, fostering renewed interest in his discography.
The past year has been particularly dynamic for Bingham. Last May, he unveiled “They Call Us the Lucky Ones,” his latest full-length album, created in collaboration with his backing band, the Texas Gentlemen. Following the album's release, he embarked on the successful “Still Gettin’ Away With It Tour ‘26,” which concluded in June. After several festival appearances, Bingham is slated to join Zach Bryan for a series of stadium concerts in July, with stops in major cities like San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Glendale, AZ. This follows their previous collaboration in September, where Bingham supported Bryan at Michigan Stadium, attracting an astonishing audience of 112,408 and setting a new record for the largest ticketed concert audience in U.S. history.
Ryan Bingham's decision to partner with WME for his music representation signifies a strategic alignment aimed at expanding his global reach and capitalizing on his multifaceted talent. With a rich history of acclaimed musical works and a prominent acting career, Bingham continues to captivate audiences, proving his enduring influence across diverse entertainment platforms.
