Fenway Recordings

Fenway Recordings is an artist management company based in Boston, MA.

Fenway was founded in 2001 by Mark Kates. Previously Kates had held an A&R position at Geffen Records before leaving to become the president of the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal Records

Fenway began as a management company and an independent record label, signing and releasing records by artists including Read Yellow, State Radio, Consonant (Mission of Burma bassist Clint Conley’s other band), The Kickovers (the first act to sign, with former Mighty Mighty Bosstones member Nate Albert and ex-Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh), The Love Scene, Longwave, and Unbusted.

Fenway has also released compilations such as the In Our Lifetime series which has featured the artists My Morning Jacket, Ash, Cave In, Ben Kweller, Rival Schools, and Dropkick Murphys.

Since 2006, the company stopped releasing records and focused solely on management. Now Fenway Recordings provides management for many artists including MGMT, Mission of Burma, Bodega Girls, Faces on Film, and Anthony Rossomando as well as co-management for The Cribs, Doves, Saves The Day, The Static Jacks and Francis and the Lights.
