Warner Chappell MusicMusic Publishing Arm of Warner Music Group, today announced the signing of Örna Founding member Bernie Leadon to a long -term, worldwide publication agreement.
“I’ve been associated with Warner Chappell and the rest of Warner music since 1971,” Leadon said in a statement. “I am very pleased to renew my contacts with them now at this time during the 2000s. Warner Chappell and Warner Music have always been at the top of support for songwriters and other music creators, and that reality is still very obvious in the current leadership and staff. My sincere thank you to all of them.”

Greg Sowders, SVP, A&R and Catalog, WCM added: “As a master musician, songwriter and member of Rock and Rock and Roll of Fame, Bernie inspired me to start my first real band. And now as his music publisher I continue to be inspired by his writing and play, especially by his new album too late to be swallowed.
