Cornman Music Hires Chris Owen
Cornman Music has hired Chris Owen as Creative Director.
A native of Buffalo, New York, Owen is a graduate of Buffalo State College. He has worked at WYRK-FM/Townsquare Media for the last six years, rising to Assistant Brand Manager and on-air talent for the station before his exit. He also has grown a following on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) with his country music content.
At Cornman Music, Owen will work with the roster that includes the company’s owner Brett James, as well as Will Bundy, Drew Green, Lydia Vaughan, Graham Barham, Chris August and Gabe Broussard.
“We are beyond excited to have Chris Owen join the Cornman family. His love of songs and country music is absolutely infectious,” shares James. “I haven’t met many people who know more or care more about songwriters than Chris and we are thrilled to have him in Nashville and working with Nate Lowery as the dream team.”
