ECR Music Group is an American independent music company based in Manhattan. It was founded by recording artist and producer Blake Morgan in 2002 as record label Engine Company Records. Re-branded as ECR Music Group in late 2012, it now includes a roster of both imprints and artists, as well as an artist-services division, Meridian, and a publishing division, ECR Music Publishing. The label differs from its counterparts in its artist-friendly philosophy and partnership wherein all ECR artists and labels own 100% of their master recordings.[1]

Artists on ECR Music Group have included Janita, James McCartney, Tracy Bonham, David Poe, Jill Sobule, Terry Manning, Blake Morgan, Lesley Gore, David Cloyd, Chris Barron, Grace McLean, and many others. Morgan produces the releases, and genres vary significantly.

ECR Music Group is distributed by The Orchard. As of 2024, imprints include the aforementioned Meridian, as well as Merrill Artists, Hook & Ladder Records, Lucky Seven Records, and the company's original catalog housed as Engine Company Records.[2]
