ASCAP Reorganization Continues

April 13, 2010/by admin

ascap we create music1There has been no official word, but MusicRow has heard that the realignment at ASCAP Nashville included a number of personnel changes today, most notably in the writer rep department. Thought to be exiting due to this re-organization are Herky Williams, John Briggs, Pat Rolfe, Dan Keen and Charlene Wilhite. Remaining on board are Ralph Murphy, Mike Sistad, and Jesse Willoughby.

On Feb. 22 ASCAP CEO John LoFrumento announced an expansion of the company’s Nashville operations to become a Regional Office serving all genres of music. Industry veteran Tim DuBois was appointed Vice President and Managing Executive of the operations. On April 6, LeAnn Phelan, most recently a Writer Producer/Manager with 19 Entertainment, was tapped as Senior Creative Director at ASCAP’s Nashville Regional Office. She reports to DuBois.

    It looks like more staff are being eliminated than are being added. This seems a little incongruous with the Nashville office’s being elevated to a regional office. I had trouble arranging a meeting with a writer rep at past staffing levels.

      Chad was already gone. Think he’s at a publisher now. I will miss seeing some of those folks…

    As an ex-ASCAP employee laid off after 20 years in New York, none of this surprises me. Their business model these days is based on increasing the unemployment rolls.

    Anyone have a contact address for Pat Rolfe? I’d love to check in with her and see how she is doing.

    More often than not, change is good. I know the last and only time I was at the ASCAP Office (last year) in Nashville I was saddened by the “attitude” I was met with at the front desk…as well as the inability to see a Writer Rep for at least 2 days – or so I was told. I wasn’t a member, but wanted to ask some questions. I left feeling like it was a Private Club I invaded and I was looked down on. Perhaps this information and the changes being made will improve the situation. As a side note, I went to BMI and it was incredible. You walk in, and no matter who you are, there was respect and an “eagerness” to help.

    I sincerely wish ASCAP well in making what seems to me to be important changes, although I do know innocent and good people get displaced at times like this. But change is opportunity, and good people often find even better jobs when stuff like this happens.

    All my friends tell me ASCAP is more political than a Chamber of Commerce.

    […] Row – where rocks aren’t the only things that roll.  Talk around town is that ASCAP let 6 employees go, Joe Galante retires from Sony Music Nashville, and Disney decided to shut the doors […]
