Triple Tigers Expands With Akando Music
• Triple Tigers Records is actively expanding its promotional efforts with the launch of Akando Music, which will be the second promotion team under the Triple Tigers umbrella. According to the official announcement, “This addition will help accommodate the demand for artists seeking national Country radio promotion.”
“With more and more artists vying for radio exposure, Akando will serve as a valuable resource, offering an option for artists without a Country radio promo team,” said Kevin Herring, co-President of Triple Tigers Records, who will oversee the care and feeding of Akando Music, alongside Triple Tigers’ VP of Promotion Raffaella Braun.
Radio and record promotion veteran JC Coffey has been named Sr. Director of National Promotion and will direct the day-to-day operations along with all promotion efforts of the Akando promo team. Coffey (left) most recently served as Director of Audience Platforms for Magnolia Music Group. He previously held the role of Director of Midwest-Northeast Regional Promotion for Toby Keith‘s Show Dog Nashville. Coffey’s radio programming history includes WOKQ/Portsmouth, NH, WTHT/Portland, ME, WPGI/Elmira, NY and WMLL/Manchester, NH. He also did part-time for three years at the late WAAF/Boston.
