Neil Greenhaw launches music publishing company

Music producer Neil Greenhaw, owner of Bentonville-based music production facility Haxton Road Studios and a leader in the region’s emerging musical landscape, has launched a music publishing company called Haxton Road Publishing Co.

Greenhaw announced the new venture in a blogpost published Friday (March 1).

“I couldn’t be more excited to have such a versatile and seasoned team of songwriters developing hit songs in Bentonville that will impact the music industry worldwide,” Greenhaw wrote in the blogpost.

The publishing company will focus on writing songs for major label artists, businesses, agencies, television and film licensing and social media content.

Staff songwriters are former Warner Bros. recording artist Kenny Drain and former touring artist Josh Noren. Others writers include Ryan Ceola and Greenhaw.

Haxton Road Publishing Co. is the second venture to spinoff from the recording studio. Last year, Greenhaw introduced Haxton Recording Academy, a professional music production training program. It includes a variety of classes for aspiring audio engineers, mixing and mastering engineers, music producers, session players, songwriters, programmers and live sound engineers.
