Sony Music Nashville Sr. VP of Media and Corporate Communications, Allen Brown, has announced he will retire after 43 years in the music industry.

Brown worked for CBS Records and Sony Music Nashville or directly with artists who were signed to these label groups for over 38 years. He first shared the news of his retirement with the Sony Music Nashville staff at a dinner in the rotunda of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where Brown once served as a tour guide.

In an emailed statement, Brown said, “I could spend all my remaining time after retirement thanking everyone who has helped, encouraged, mentored and been there for me these past several years! I am so blessed to have worked with and known you!”

It is not clear whether Brown’s position will be replaced.
