Porter’s Call, the nonprofit organization dedicated to providing counsel, support and encouragement to recording artists, has added Audrey Ragan as Office & Hospitality Manager and Jared Farley as a Porter. Additionally, Phil Shay, who joined Porter’s Call in 2022, has been named Director of Development. The organization has also announced forthcoming leadership changes, which are set to take effect in May of 2024.

Founder & Executive Director Al Andrews will step down from his role, and Beth Barcus and Chad Karger will take the helm as Co-Executive Directors come spring of next year. Barcus and Karger have been Porters within the organization for two decades combined. Andrews wholeheartedly supports the nonprofit he founded 22 years ago and plans to always be an enthusiastic ambassador for the organization.

“I cannot express how bright the future of Porter’s Call looks to me,” he shares. “Handing off the leadership into the capable hands of Beth and Chad was an easy decision. I believe in them and trust them to lead Porter’s Call, with the support of the entire team, for years to come.”

“This is an exciting and wonderful time to extend the mission of Porter’s Call that Al created and Beth and Chad will shepherd into the future. The addition of Phil, Jared and Audrey will expand their ability to serve the artist community,” adds Board President Matt Signore.

Porter’s Call is also hosting their 14th annual “Evening of Stories” on Tuesday, Aug. 29 at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
