Sugar Hill Records is an American bluegrass and Americana record label.


It was founded in Durham, North Carolina in 1978 by Barry Poss[1] and David Freeman, the owner of County Records and Rebel Records.[2][3] Poss acquired full control of Sugar Hill in 1980 and owned the label until 1998, when he sold it to the Welk Music Group, owner of Vanguard Records.[4] Poss stayed on as president, and in 2002 was promoted to chairman. Sugar Hill remained in Durham until 2007, when Poss moved the label to Nashville, Tennessee.


Among the many notable artists who have released albums on the label are Nickel Creek, Doc Watson, Townes Van Zandt, Ricky Skaggs, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Sam Bush and Dolly Parton. One of Parton's albums for Sugar Hill, Halos & Horns (2002), included a song called "Sugar Hill", which she wrote as a tribute to the label. In 2008, Welk Music Group appointed EMI as distributor of its labels including Sugar Hill.[5]


In 2006, Sugar Hill executive Barry Poss won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association.[6]


The label was acquired by Concord Bicycle Music in April 2015.[7]
