Concord Promotes Eight Execs, Including Nashville’s Kennard, Kirkpatrick

February 11, 2020/by Jessica Nicholson

Two Nashville execs are among eight recently promoted at Concord.

Brad Kennard has been promoted to Sr. VP, A&R, while Kourtney Kirkpatrick has been promoted to VP, Synchronization.

Kennard has nearly 25 years of experience in the music publishing industry and has worked at organizations including Razor & Tie Music (which Concord acquired in 2017), Big Yellow Dog Music, Song Garden Music, Carnival Music and Curb Music Publishing. In his new role, he will continue supporting the careers of Concord’s current roster, including Marcus King, Ruston Kelly, Keb’ Mo’, Tofer Brown, Sean McConnell, Jeremy Lutito, Ruelle, Caroline Spence, Andrew Petroff, Mindy Smith and others.

Kirkpatrick joined Concord Music Publishing in 2017, when the company acquired Razor & Tie Music. In her four years at R&T, Kourtney pitched the catalog and developed writers such as sync giant, Ruelle. Previously, she worked to start and build the sync department at indie publisher, Big Yellow Dog. As VP, Synchronization, Kourtney will supervise the Television and Trailer/Promo departments, overseeing the creative pitching for each in North America.

Concord also announced the promotions of Alanna Goracy (NY) to VP, Production & Development, KIDZ Bop; Charles Graytok (NY) to VP, Finance; Bevis Hungate (London) to VP, Rental Services; Casey McLain (NY) to VP, Retail & Systems Operations; Mason Williams (LA) to Sr. VP, Catalog A&R; and Jeremy Yohai (NY) to Sr. VP, A&R.

“Concord’s culture of growth over the past few years has presented opportunities and challenges for many on our global team,” said Concord CEO Scott Pascucci. “To those that have not only confronted those challenges but have overcome them, and to every staff member that shows up every day to succeed, we thank you. It was my pleasure to announce 48 promotions this year, eight of them at VP level or above. Good luck to all of you in your new roles.”
