Emerald Forest Entertainment
Marla McNally and Linda Blum Huntington, former executives at major publishing companies, formed Emerald Forest Entertainment in 1989 in response to a consolidation of the major publishing companies of the time. Realizing the need for creative independents, Linda and Marla ventured in to their own company to create a hands-on approach to music publishing. The goal was, and still remains, to provide a creative publishing haven for young artists, writers, and producers to develop and realize their creative potential. From 1989-1994 the company signed exclusive publishing deals which ultimately built the very successful catalog that is co-owned by ‘EFE’ today. It has been their honor and privilege to work with and represent the catalogs of such talent as Marilyn Manson, Sophie B. Hawkins, Brownstone and many others. EFE represents many songs that have been recorded in a variety of genres, including cuts by Celine Dion, Randy Travis, and many more.
