Big Machine Label Group has elevated Sara Benz to Project Manager for the Big Machine Records imprint, effective immediately.

“Sara comes to the Big Machine team with a ton of energy and a wealth of experience. She has hit the ground running and is making a huge difference with our team and our artists. This is truly only the beginning for her,” says Big Machine Records’ GM, Clay Hunnicutt.

“A huge thank you to the amazing team at Big Machine Records for welcoming me with open arms,” shares Benz. “I can’t wait for this next chapter in Music City!”
