With over thirty years of success on Nashville’s Music Row, Woody Bomar launched Green Hills Music Group as an independent publishing house that looks toward the future while drawing from his rich experience in various aspects of the ever-changing music industry.
About Woody: A graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, Woody left a successful 10-year advertising agency career to follow his passion for music. Starting as a songwriter for Combine Music Publishing, Woody penned hits there including major singles for Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty (#1), Jim Glaser (#1) and Big Al Downing. Plus writing additional recordings for numerous top artists of the 80s. He transitioned into the publishing side, ultimately becoming General Manager of Combine. He promoted the music of a large staff including artist/writers Kris Kristofferson, Tony Joe White, Larry Gatlin and Dolly Parton. His efforts successfully placed notable hits for major artists at the time including The Judds, Restless Heart, Reba McEntire and Ray Charles.
After 8 years Woody departed Combine Music to start Little Big Town Music Group with his business partner Kerry O’Neil. Serving as President and General Manager, he nurtured the careers of numerous top Nashville songwriters including Bob DiPiero, Steve Seskin, Karen Staley, Jay Knowles, Cathy Majeski and John Scott Sherrill.
