September 19, 2012/by Caitlin Rantala

President of Average Joes Management Ken Madson has announced the promotion of 20 year music industry veteran Rusty Harmon to Sr. VP of Management Services. The promotion is effective immediately.

“We have always prided ourselves building artist careers from the ground up,” says Madson. “Rusty’s experience developing Hootie and The Blowfish and Jason Michael Carroll will be invaluable to us as we continue to grow.”

Harmon says, “In one short year I’ve seen our team have No. 1 singles, No. 1 records, get artists signed to major labels, and grow at a rapid rate. We have a great group of artists, managers, and staff. I am proud to call Average Joes home, and I look forward to growing with the company as we continue to set trends others follow.”

Average Joes Management originated in 2007 with two employees and one client. Today, the company has grown to house 16 employees, 8 artist managers, and artists across a multitude of genres including Colt Ford, The Lacs, John Michael Montgomery, Bo Bice, Ira Dean, Scarletta, JB and the Moonshine Band, Rehab, Moonshine Bandits, Johnny T, Jesse Lee and others.
