DUNGAN'S GOLDEN HOUR

The Grammy-night triumph by MCA Nashville’s Kacey Musgraves is the latest feather in the cap of UMG Nashville boss Mike Dungan, who remains one of the most influential execs in all of Music City. Musgraves’ breakout follows major successes for Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Eric Church, Jon Pardi, Brothers Osborne and more.

Ably assisted by prexy Cindy Mabe and team, the loquacious, well-liked Dungan presides over one of the most impressive rosters in the biz—and continues to hit new benchmarks with his acts. And if you want an earful, hit him up on Facebook about the President’s latest national emergency.
