Chris Janson is returning to Warner Music Nashville under the auspices of his own Harpeth 60 Records, with former BMLG exec Clay Hunnicutt as National and promotion vets Ray Vaughn and Lauren (Longbine) Bartlett handling promotion for Warner/Harpeth 60. "I am incredibly humbled, and grateful for the new partnership with Warner," says Janson. "This is an awesome overall partnership, and this is great team, and I’m thankful to have them on my side.” Janson left BMLG's Nashville Harbor earlier this year, having launched Harpeth 60 there in 2022 (CAT 9/28/22). His new music in partnership with Warner – home to Janson's first three albums – is expected soon. 

Incoming Country Radio Hall of Famer Hunnicutt also recently left BMLG (Breaking News 2/6/25) and is operating consultancy Honey Music. Vaughn's long promotion tenure includes Galaxy, Magnolia, Quartz Hill and Warner. Bartlett left Columbia (2/11/25) in Sony Nashville's restructuring; she joined the company from BMLG seven years prior. Reach Hunnicutt here, Vaughn here and Bartlett here.
