Concord Records

Today, CONCORD RECORDS' expanding roster of artists includes an eclectic mix of legends such as James Taylor, Paul Simon, Melissa Etheridge, Keb’ Mo’ and Taj Mahal, mainstay alternative bands in elbow and the New Pornographers, as well as groundbreaking new artists like Esperanza Spalding, Valerie June, and The Record Company. Concord Records was launched in 1995 as an imprint designed to reach beyond the company's foundational Jazz label, while staying true to its high standards of musical excellence and dedication to its artists. Perhaps best known for its highly successful collaborations with legendary artists such as Ray Charles, Sergio Mendes, James Taylor, and Paul Simon, Concord has a long legacy of fostering uncommon successes for artists of singular and extraordinary talent and creativity who often defy genre boundaries.
