Concord has hired industry veteran Stephanie Hudacek as President of Rounder Records.

“Throughout her career, Stephanie has shown a deep commitment to artists and songwriters as well as an incredible intuition for what it takes to bring their music to the world. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have her at the helm at Rounder,” shares the Chief Executive of Concord Label Group, Tom Becci. “She has the requisite skills to preserve the label’s distinct history while ensuring her artists and team have the resources necessary for continued success in an evolving environment.”

Rounder Records was founded in 1970 by Marian Leighton Levy, Ken Irwin and Bill Nowlin, and has developed the careers of artists such as Norman Blake, George Thorogood, Alison Krauss, Nanci Griffith, Billy Strings, Bela Fleck, Sierra Ferrell, Katie Pruitt, Sarah Jarosz, John R. Miller and many more. With 54 Grammys in its 54-year history, Rounder Records was acquired by Concord in 2010.

“It is an unbelievable honor to be able to lead Rounder Records. Throughout its history, Rounder has shown an uncompromising devotion to great, authentic artistry, which has made it a natural home for artists seeking the same. That is a tradition I am thrilled to carry on,” says Hudacek.

Hudacek is the Founder and President of Soundly Music, a music distribution and label services company she founded in 2017 bolstered the careers of several notable artists including Kaitlin Butts, Joshua Ray Walker, Tyler Ramsey, Aubrie Sellers, Maggie Rose, Pony Bradshaw, River Whyless, Darrell Scott and more. In 2022 and 2023, Hudacek concurrently served as the President of Late August Records and worked with artists such as Cody Jinks, Erin Viancourt and Caned By Nod.

Her prior experience includes time as General Manager of Riser House Records and stints as both a recording engineer and tour manager, where she spent years in the studio and on the road.
