Records for artists who mean it.
Independent record label based in Livingston, Montana.
We partner with artists we believe in to make honest records and build careers that don’t disappear when the moment passes.
THIS IS TONE FARMERS
Tone Farmers is not a content factory, a vanity label, or a shortcut.
We work with artists who care about the work — the songs, the sound, and the long road ahead. We help make records that feel real, sound great, and hold up over time.
We stay small on purpose.
We invest deeply.
We don’t rush records — and we don’t chase trends.
If that feels slow, good.
HOW WE WORK
Artist-first isn’t branding here. It’s the deal.
- 75/25 revenue split; artists keep the majority
- We cover production costs
- Single-album agreements
- Hands-on support from recording through release
If we sign you, we’re all in.
If we don’t, it’s because we don’t believe we can do the work justice.
WHAT WE RELEASE
We release records built around strong songs, real performances, and a clear point of view.
The music we’re drawn to doesn’t fit neatly into categories — and that’s the point. It’s rooted, human, and made by artists who care more about the work than the wave.
These aren’t trend-driven releases.
They’re records made to be lived with.
TONE FARMERS ARTISTS
Artists we partner with because the work demands it, not because the numbers do.
Abby Webster
Abby Webster is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Livingston, Montana. Her songs blend alt-country, folk, and bedroom pop elements, showcasing lyrics that are as whimsical as they are visceral. She recorded her debut record with Tone Farmers in 2024.
Sean Devine
Montana musician Sean Devine brings together rugged Western landscape and a lifetime of personal experience in songs about second chances and showing up. His forthcoming Paradise Valley Sessions, the first official Tone Farmers release, mixed by Jamey Warren in Livingston. A fifth-generation Montanan, Devine has spent decades between construction camps, New York folk clubs, and Rocky Mountain honky-tonks, never making quite enough money to stop, but always enough to keep going.
Read This Before You Reach Out
We’re selective because real partnership takes time, trust, and attention.
If you’re looking for shortcuts, hype, or guaranteed growth, this isn’t the right label.
If you’re serious about your music and committed to the long game, we’re open to listening.
