The Orchard (music label)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Orchard is a New York City based digital distribution and new media services firm that works with independent bands. The company was started in 1997 by Richard Gottehrer and Scott Cohen.

It focuses on distribution of digitized music, video, and new media to online music retailers, advertising firms, and music and film agencies, and caters to numerous well-known independent artists and labels such as Barsuk, Nuclear Blast, and Daptone. The company has offices and representatives in many countries around the world.

The Orchard was formally owned by Dimensional Associates, which also owns eMusic, but has since merged with competing distributor DMGI and now trades under ORCD on Nasdaq.
