Indie Agency Salty Artist Management Quietly Closed This Year

Co-founders Chris Crowley and Chad Heimann closed the business after Crowley was accused of sexual harassment, according to a new report from Billboard

Salty Artist Management—the management firm that was once home to Mitski, Jay Som, Car Seat Headrest, and other notable indie acts—closed on October 29, Billboard reveals in a new report. The firm’s website and social media accounts have also disappeared. According to Billboard, Salty’s co-founders Chris Crowley and Chad Heimann closed the business after Crowley was accused of sexual harassment.

According to Billboard’s report, Crowley sent a text message to a music business professional suggesting that he wanted to “hook up” with a woman on the Salty management team who was in her twenties. The woman—whom Billboard calls Stephanie—began working at Salty on July 19. The text message was reportedly sent some time between her start date and August 21.

On August 22, Stephanie reportedly went to see a movie and get dinner with Crowley. Stephanie told Billboard that her day with Crowley was “uneventful,” and so she was surprised to receive a text message from Crowley apologizing for flirting with her. Stephanie reportedly told Chad Heimann about his co-founder’s text message. Heimann was supportive, according to Billboard, and “shared many of [Stephanie’s] concerns” with Crowley. At this point, according to the report, Stephanie was unaware of the “hook up” text message.

Months later, Stephanie was reportedly shown the “hook up” text message, and, on October 17, met with Crowley to confront him about it. Crowley was reportedly apologetic, but, due to her discomfort at Salty, Stephanie announced her resignation during a company Zoom meeting on October 19. Several managers chose to leave Salty in solidarity with Stephanie, according to Billboard.

Crowley and Heimann founded Salty Artist Management in 2012. In October 2020, Pitchfork was emailed a press release that touted the firm’s hiring of four new managers. The email also included a list of Salty’s clients at the time, highlighting Car Seat Headrest, Ella Jane, Field Medic, Giraffage, Huck, Jackie Hayes, Jay Som, Kate Bollinger, Michelle, Mitski, Model/Actriz, Momma, Slow Pulp, and Soft Glas.

According to Billboard, Mitski was managed by Crowley. Car Seat Headrest, Ella Jane, Huck, Jackie Hayes, Jay Som

hello. 2 tickets BRC row K for tomorrow's show. got em in the presale before i moved here and i'm too tired from moving to go tomorrow. also too exhausted from driving out here (route 66 baybeeeee) to try and make it out to pioneertown on saturday so 2 tickets to that available too.

I'm asking for $25 for each ticket. I'll do $75 if you take all 4. that seems fair to me. way under what i paid because i love the homies.

just post below with your favorite lyric off of race or trick so i know you're a real one. i'll use those timestamps to figure out who to DM tonight.

worst case scenario, you see this and want to go, and I haven't gotten rid of em, just check this thread and dm me like 2 hours before doors open. we can work out something. i just don't want them to go to waste. or get bought by a scalper ^or ^something ^worse.

Update: Pioneertown ones are gone, but I'm willing to give my Caroline Polachek ones away for free. Just DM/reddit chat me.

Howdy y'all, we've got another fresh AMA headed your way this week.

Bachelor (Jay Som and Palehound) will join us for an AMA this Tuesday!

WHO: Bachelor are Ellen Kempner and Melina Duterte, lead songwriters of their own solo projects Palehound and Jay Som, artists who have had notable buzz in recent years with their own releases such as Anak Ko and Black Friday. We've previously had both of them on for their own individual AMAs, but in the last year, they came together as a duo and made...

WHY: Doomin' Sun, their debut record as Bachelor, which released this last Friday on Polyvinyl Records. The album features the singles "Anything at All", "Stay In the Car", and "Back of My Hand". The band will also be presenting their debut performance soon along with many other artists in their online presentation of Doomin' Sun Fest, which starts June 10th at 6pm ET, a free live telethon that anyone can tune into!

WHEN: Bachelor will join us this Tuesday, June 1st @ 1pm ET/10am PT!

Schedule

this is an unofficial discussion for reactions to the album or whatever your little heart desires. this is for the sake of preserving discussion on as many albums as possible. if there's any releases for the week (or in general) that may be of interest missing from the schedule either PM me or leave a comment somewhere and i'll add it.

I think it's going through the whole track but you can hear it very clearly in this part. Guitar buzz or similar.
