Allison Crutchfield is best known as a musician, both under her own name and with the bands P.S. Eliot, Swearin ‘ and Snocaps. But seven years ago, she began working at the indie label ANTI- Records, where she headed the A&R department and signed artists including MJ Lenderman, Death Cab For Cutie , The Beths and Waxahatchee , the recording project of her twin sister (and P.S. Eliot and Snocaps bandmate), Katie. Today (May 1), Another Management Company, the boutique management firm that’s home to artists including Kurt Vile , Waxahatchee and Alvvays , announced Crutchfield’s next chapter as an artist manager for the company.

And I feel like [it was] the advocacy for artists element. I realized at a certain point that the best way for me to get to really tune in to that part of the work, to really get to advocate for the artists that I work with, was to move over to the management side. I’ve been ambiently thinking about that for years.” Rennie Jaffe and Eric Dimenstein founded AMC in 2017, and Crutchfield’s relationship with them goes back even further than that, through their work with Waxahatchee via Ground Control Touring, the agency co-founded by Dimenstein that has represented both Crutchfield sisters throughout their careers. “Eric has been such a guiding light for both of us, Katie and me,” Crutchfield says. “I trust them so much, I feel so aligned with them, the way that they interface with the rest of the business, that it was a no-brainer that [AMC] is where I would want to go.” Based in Los Angeles, Crutchfield will immediately begin co-managing AMC clients Twisted Teens, Brennan Wedl and Ryan Davis, three rising indie artists whose careers she is excited to guide under what she describes as the firm’s “inherent bird’s-eye view approach.” “[AMC] really wants to grow with their artists’ careers; they really want to build sustainability for them,” she explains. “They really care about their artists’ longevity and lives as humans. That’s something I know firsthand working with them — they’re really focused on just development, which is the thing that is the most exciting to me about being in the business, just being someone who can help advocate and support artists.” As for what this means for Crutchfield’s car
