Late August Merchandising is driven by one core principle:

to put the power in the hands of the artist.

When the artist wins, we all win. And we’re on your team.

For too long, merchandising companies have put their own interests first, pushing aside the needs of the artist.

With Late August Merchandising, we believe that the people who should benefit the most from music merchandise are the names that are on the front of the t-shirts and the fans that buy them.

We know it because we’ve lived it. Owned and operated by Cody Jinks, known as the world’s biggest independent country artist, Late August Merchandising is an artist-forward merchandising company providing turnkey solutions for bands online and on tour. With out sacrificing quality. Without giving up the rights to your image or signing batshit crazy “deals” that only benefit the merch company.

We make sure merch gets into the hands of your fans and your hard-earned money gets into your pocket.
