Both talented gentlemen report to Barry Weiss, Co-founder & Partner, RECORDS, LLC, who commented, “We are so excited to be leveling up and raising the game with our efforts in Nashville and country music. I can’t think of two better executives to take us forward and achieve this task than Josh Easler and Joe Fisher. They’re both established superstars in their respective fields in Country music with great pedigree and substantial track records.”
Easler exclaimed, “Barry has assembled one of the most dynamic teams in the business and an incredible roster of new talent. I’m excited to work with this amazing group of executives on breaking the next vanguard of country artists.” Fisher seconds that emotion, adding, “I’ve respected Barry from afar for my entire career. He’s a true music man and one of the industry’s most visionary executives. The only thing more impressive than his track record is his passion for music. When he called, there was only one answer. I’m immensely honored to join the RECORDS team and kick off this new chapter.”
