Big Machine Label Group has promoted Allison Jones to Executive Vice President, A&R. Jones has been with BMLG for 12 years and most recently served as Senior Vice President, A&R. In her newly elevated role Jones will continue to lead all A&R efforts for the entire BMLG roster which includes Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Rascal Flatts, Midland, Carly Pearce and more.

“Allison Jones is one of those extremely rare A&R executives who just knows when it comes to great artists and great songs. Our success together has left an indelible mark on this era of country music,” said BMLG President/CEO Scott Borchetta. “She continually blows my mind at her knowledge of what’s going on in the marketplace, where the great songs and songwriters are and what new artists are circling. It’s extremely rare that I can bring up a new song or new artist that she doesn’t already know about. Thank you Allison! Nobody better.”

“I’ve worked with Scott since 1997 when we were part of the original team to open Dreamworks Nashville and I’m beyond grateful that he asked me to join his history-making Big Machine team twelve years ago,” said Jones. “I would not be the executive that I am today without his leadership, mentorship and faith in me. I’m so honored to represent our incredible roster of artists and crazy proud of all that we’ve accomplished. I’ve never been more passionate about discovering and developing new talent while continuing to champion our established artists throughout their careers.”

Prior to joining Big Machine Label Group, Jones worked in A&R at Universal Nashville as the Vice President, A&R, as well as at Dreamworks Nashville, Giant Records and BNA Records/RCA. She has been named to Billboard‘s Women In Music and Country Power Players lists and was recognized by the Nashville Business Journal for being one of the most influential executives in the music business.
