Zach Hartley, ’09, breaks ground in country music field

Zach Hartley, BCHS Class of 2009, a talent agent representing some of the top artists in the industry, is celebrating a groundbreaking achievement with client Drew Baldridge.
Baldridge recently made history as the first country artist to earn a #1 single — “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” — without the backing of a record label. Now signed with Broken Bow Records, he continues his success with his follow-up single, “Tough People,” which has already entered the top 10 and is climbing toward #1.
On June 6, 2025, Baldridge will take the stage at TCU Amphitheater in Indianapolis, opening for Bailey Zimmerman. Hartley is based in United Talent Agency’s (UTA) Nashville, TN office.
