Warner Music Nashville has tapped Fount Lynch as SVP, Publicity.

Effective 6/13, Lynch will report to recently appointed Co-President Ben Kline and replaces Wes Vause, who is departs on 6/30 after eight years.

“We are thrilled to welcome Fount to Warner Music Nashville. He has the experience and enthusiasm to help develop new strategies that will serve the changing media landscape,” said Kline.

He continues, “All of us at WMN thank our friend Wes Vause for his many contributions to the company, its people and our artists over the past eight years. We wish him the best of luck on his new venture.”

“Music has always been my passion. Seeing that same passion from the team at Warner Music Nashville has been both exciting and humbling,” added Lynch. “I am grateful to have this opportunity and thrilled to be part of the WMN team.”

Lynch joins WMN from Red Light Management, where he served as both an artist manager and a member of the Nashville marketing team. The twenty-year industry vet, who began his career at MCA/Lost Highway Records, also helmed his own company, LYNCH PR, and held previous publicity roles at Sony Music Nashville and UMG Nashville.

“Fount came in when I left Sony, and now he’s coming in when I’m leaving Warner Music Nashville… I’m grateful that he’s always there to clean up my messes!” Joked Vause.
