Cris Lacy to lead Warner Records Nashville
Warner Records Nashville has named Cris Lacy as Chair and President following a rebranding from Warner Music Nashville. Lacy, who brings two decades of experience with the label and previously served as Co-President, will report to Warner Records Group CEO and Co-Chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck, along with COO and Co-Chairman Tom Corson. Former Co-Chair and Co-President Gregg Nadel is transitioning to an undisclosed leadership position within Warner Music Group.
The Nashville operation joined Warner Records Group in September and will align more closely with the broader organization to expand country music’s reach internationally. The label represents artists including Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Kenny Chesney, and Bailey Zimmerman, among others. Warner Music Group introduced a new logo for the Nashville division that matches the design aesthetic established for Warner Records in 2019.
