Susan Nadler, Evelyn Shriver To Launch “Shady Ladies Of Music City” Podcast

/by

Music industry veterans Susan Nadler and Evelyn Shriver have both broken glass ceilings for female executives during their four decades in the Nashville music industry, most notably with Shriver earning the title of the first female president of a major country label when she took over Asylum Records in 1998; Nadler served as Asylum’s Exec. VP/A&R. During their time at the label, they released the critically-lauded projects Cold Hard Truth (George Jones) and Trio II (Emmylou Harris/Dolly Parton/Linda Ronstadt).

After Asylum was folded into Nashville-based Warner Bros. Records in 2002 (now Warner Music Nashville), Shriver and Nadler continued working together. They formed Bandit Records in 2003, adding Jones on the roster. In 2009, they launched Country Crossings Records, with artists John Anderson and Lorrie Morgan. By 2015, Nadler was serving as a talent manager for the TV show Soundstage.

Now, they will bring their stories of “infiltrating the boys’ club” to their new roles as hosts for an upcoming podcast, Shady Ladies of Music City.

Launching June 4 via Monument Records, the podcast will feature Nadler and Shriver sharing stories from their four decades in the music industry. Episodes from the first season will post each week through early August.

“These two have been making us laugh for years. They have always deserved an audience to share their self-proclaimed brilliance with,” said Monument Records co-president Jason Owen.

“You will not be disappointed,” added Monument co-president Shane McAnally.

The podcast will be available on Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, Apple, Overcast and more. Nadler and Shriver will also be part of a session at this week’s Music Biz conference in Nashville on Wednesday, May 8, moderated by Hunter Kelly.
