Sticks Management, an artist management firm founded by Morgan Wallen and his longtime agent, Austin Neal, in 2024 is expanding, announcing today the signing of Warner Music Nashville recording artist Gavin Adcock. With this addition Adcock’s manager, Saxon Curry, joins Sticks.
Adcock and Curry both hail from Georgia; the former from Watkinsville, the latter from Augusta. Each attended Georgia Southern University (GSU). While Adcock attended GSU for four years, playing football and graduating in 2022, Curry transferred to Belmont his junior year to complete his degree in Music Business.
During his last semester of college, Curry interned at Make Wake, where he assisted management coordinators across the company’s roster.
It was during his time at Belmont that Curry was first introduced to Adcock after an invite from Adcock’s guitar player, Bennett Bosewell – whom Curry went to high school with – sparked a road trip to Georgia to catch the singer’s set at a small bar in Statesboro. Captivated by Adcock’s stage presence and organic following he had built in Georgia, the two kept in touch.
Immediately after graduation in 2022, Curry began working at WME, where he assisted three agents in his year and a half with the company. Eventually, in August of 2023, Adcock officially hired Curry as his Manager, while Curry was still working at WME. This led to Adcock signing his booking deal with the agency in Fall 2023.
Since officially partnering together in 2023, the duo have built an impressive resume. Adcock signed with Warner Music Nashville in spring 2024, and has since released multiple singles that have now amassed over 1.2 billion US streams collectively. His recent release, “A Cigarette,” has over 150 million streams and counting, and earned a RIAA Platinum certification.
Adcock’s sophomore album, Own Worst Enemy, arrives this Friday, Aug. 15, and follows his debut major label album, Actin’ Up Again, which was released in August of 2024 and was the most streamed country debut album of the year with over 500 million streams to date. Own Worst Enemy spans 24 tracks and includes Adcock’s current single “Never Call Again,” which just charted on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

Adcock will open for Wallen this weekend in Cleveland, Ohio as part of Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem stadium tour, before kicking off his own headlining Need To Tour on Thursday, Aug. 21. Tickets Are Available at GavinAdcockMusic.com.
In addition to Sticks Management, Adcock is represented by WME for booking, Kella Farris with Farris, Self & Moore for business management and is signed to Warner Music Nashville.
