McCarn Departs As Black River Restructures: Black River GM Greg McCarn has exited after more than five years as the company promotes three (Breaking News 1/6). A long-tenured music executive, McCarn joined the label in 2011 after stops at ScatterTunes, Lyric Street and RCA. Reach him at 615-243-1276 or here. Other moves include Mike Wilson's rise to SVP/Promotion, Tanya Welch's promotion to VP/Marketing and Dawn Delvo's rise to Head/Media & Public Relations. They joined in 2013, 2015 and 2011, respectively. Newcomer Bailey White joins as Coord./Promotion; Sr. Director/National Promotion & Strategy Bill Macky remains in that role.

"Mike has mentored and guided our excellent promotion staff, and through that leadership, we have achieved history making results," says EVP Rick Froio. "We are thrilled to announce that Mike will continue to play a major role in the company." Adds CEO Gordon Kerr, "We continue to make strides to become the company we know we have to be in order to help our artists, songwriters, and staff reach their full potential. Elevating Dawn and Tanya is the natural step towards that end. I am continually impressed with their leadership, vision and commitment to the Black River family!" Reach Wilson here, Welch here, Delvo here and White here.
