Hot Labels
Saddle Creek Records, based in Omaha, Nebraska, was started as a class project in entrepreneurship and has grown into a successful network of like-minded artists. It is often known to be the flagship label of the "Omaha Sound," a style of rock that has a slight country twang. Recent signings like Two Gallants have broadened their scope, which now includes bands outside of the Midwest. In 2005, they released a documentary, Spend An Evening With Saddle Creek, detailing the label's first ten years. —JB |
