US-based independent booking agency Ground Control Touring has appointed Nashville-based agent Tommy Alexander, further strengthening the company’s presence in the US music hub.

Alexander began working as an agent in 2018 after starting his career as a talent buyer. He later launched his own agency before moving to Wasserman Music, where he most recently worked as a booking agent.
