Reunion Records is a Brentwood, Tennessee based division of Sony BMG started in 1982 by Dan Harrell and Mike Blanton. They signed for a distribution deal with Word Records.
The label was formed by Amy Grant's managers (with Harrell being her brother-in-law), with the label's original intent to give new artist Kathy Troccoli a home after being rejected by the major labels at the time. Miss Troccoli, Michael W. Smith, and Rich Mullins were the label's first three artists.
In 1990 they signed a new distribution deal with Geffen Records. In 1993 50% of Reunion Records was sold to BMG and by 1995 the other half was acquired by BMG too. From 1995 until 1996 it was part or Arista Records (a BMG company). In October 1996 the label was sold to Zomba Records. Through eventual consolidation, it is now part of Sony BMG.
Artists include Michael W. Smith, Brian Littrell, Casting Crowns, Billy Sprague, Joy Williams, Pam Mark Hall, Kim Hill.
