• Twenty-year industry veteran Fount Lynch is joining the Warner Music Nashville publicity department as Senior Vice President on June 13, succeeding Wes Vause, who is launching his own business.

Lynch will report to Co-President Ben Kline, who commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Fount to Warner Music Nashville. He has the experience and enthusiasm to help develop new strategies that will serve the changing media landscape. Fount, along with the three dedicated and forward-thinking members of his team, will take our publicity department into the future.” Kline added, “All of us at WMN thank our friend Wes Vause for his many contributions to the company, its people and our artists over the past eight years. We wish him the best of luck on his new venture.”

Lynch joins WMN from Red Light Management, where he served as both an artist manager and a member of the marketing team for the Nashville office. He also helmed his own public relations company, LYNCH PR. Previous publicity stops include Sony Music Nashville and UMG Nashville. Lynch began his career at MCA / Lost Highway Records in 2003 after graduating from Lipscomb University. “Music has always been my passion,” Lynch said. “Seeing that same passion from the team at Warner Music Nashville has been both exciting and humbling. I’m grateful to have this opportunity and thrilled to be part of the WMN team. I will miss my Red Light Management family, but I look forward to continued collaboration in my new role!”

Vause joked, “Fount came in when I left Sony, and now he’s coming in when I’m leaving Warner Music Nashville… I’m grateful that he’s always there to clean up my messes!”
