Better Angels Music Restructures

November 12, 2012/by Eric T. Parker

Better Angels Music CEO and Creative Director, Rob Rappaport, has exited the 5-year-old company. Stepping in to replace him is Better Angels owner, John McDonald. Shellien Butts continues in her role as Administration Manager and songplugger.

The publishing company’s writing roster has also been updated with the addition of Michael Howard (“Church Pew or Barstool” by Jason Aldean) and Blue Foley (“There She Goes” by The Dirt Drifters) following the departure of three of its writers.

“Change is a good thing!” said Gary Ray, who remains in his position as Vice President and will assume the role of Creative Director. “I am super excited about the new direction of the company and its future in Nashville.”
