About Tone Farmers
Independent Record Label · Livingston, MontanaTone Farmers is an independent record label based in Livingston, Montana, working with artists who write honest songs, deliver real performances, and want careers built on substance - not shortcuts.
We’re not trying to be the biggest label.
We’re trying to do this the right way.
That means staying small, working closely, and investing deeply in the artists we believe in.
Artist Partnerships
We partner with a small roster of artists and treat each relationship seriously.
This isn’t a volume business.
It’s a commitment.
What we handle:
- Production, recording, and mixing
- Distribution and release strategy
- Career guidance and long-term planning
- Marketing rooted in authenticity
- Connection to the Montana music community
We cover production costs.
Revenue is split 75/25 - artists keep the majority.
Most partnerships begin with a single-album agreement.
Trust is built by doing the work.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We look for artists who:
- Write lived-in, honest songs
- Can perform with conviction
- Care about craft and growth
- Want real careers, not quick hits
- Value community over competition
We’re selective because attention is the work.
If we can’t give a record what it deserves, we won’t sign it.
Who's Behind It
Tone Farmers is run by Jamey Warren, a music producer and audio engineer with 30+ years in professional audio; from building recording equipment used in studios worldwide to producing records in the Montana mountains.
This isn't a hobby or side project. It's a life's work built on genuine relationships and a commitment to serving artists first.

Community Over Competition

Quality over quantity. Collaboration over noise.
