Curb Promo Restructures: Former Southern Ground VP Chuck Swaney, former Columbia National RJ Meacham and former Arista National Andy Elliott have joined the Curb promotion department. Swaney is named Sr. Dir./Country Promotion & Creative Projects, Meacham is Sr. Dir./Country Promotion & Chart Strategy and Elliott is Sr. Dir./Country Promotion & Radio Initiatives. They join the department led by VP Ryan Dokke – who has extended his contract with the company – National Mike Rogers, West regional Lori Hartigan and Dir./Promotions Samantha DePrez. No official word, but exiting regionals are Annie Sandor and Nathan Cruise.

"Today begins a new chapter in the incredible legacy of Curb Records," says Dokke. "All three bring incredible professionalism and outstanding reputations that will only help us to better serve our partners at Country radio."

"Even after 50 years of business, we know that as an independent company Curb Records must continually strive for excellence," says Curb Group CEO Jim Ed Norman. "The fantastic leadership by Taylor Childress as VP/GM, extending our agreement with an outstanding VP/Country Promotion in Ryan Dokke, recently signing established talents like Jerrod Niemann and Love And Theft, or today, adding three terrific individuals to our promotion staff, are all testaments to our pursuit of that excellence. I’m proud to welcome Chuck, RJ and Andy to the Curb Records family and am confident their vision, combined with our entire company of talented professionals, will lead to great success."
