Primary Wave Music has announced its partnership with the legendary English musician, songwriter and record producer Mick Jones.

The new partnership will see Primary Wave partner with Jones on his publishing and recording catalogs, as well as name, image, and likeness and touring of Foreigner, the Grammy nominated rock band that he founded.

Access to Primary Wave’s marketing team and publishing infrastructure will be provided with plans for all teams to work closely with Foreigner on new marketing, branding, digital, and synch opportunities, as well as film & television projects, Primary Wave Music said in a press release.

Jones said of the partnership, “Larry Mestel has created a unique company that focuses on heritage artists and develops them with incredible success. I am personally thrilled that he and his team of professionals will be working alongside my long-term friends and managers, Phil Carson and Stewart Young, to build upon the awareness of FOREIGNER and our songs.”

“Over twenty years ago, I reformed the band with the finest musicians I could find,” he continued. “This year, we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 1977 New York founding with a live album and movie that features original members Lou Gramm and Al Greenwood joining FOREIGNER for a magnificent concert on Ellis Island. I can’t think of a better home for this and FOREIGNER’s future than Primary Wave.”

Larry Mestel, Primary Wave’s CEO & Founder, said, “Mick Jones is one of the most prolific songwriters of all time, and FOREIGNER is one of the few remaining super groups that continue to provide an amazing live experience. We are honored to partner with Mick, Phil Carson, Stewart Young, and the band to help take their songs and brand to even higher levels.”
