Jeff Davis
Cold River Records and Tenacity Records are shuffling radio promotion staffers.
Promo exec Jeff Davis has exited Cold River and joined Tenacity. Meanwhile, his former label is filling the void with a promotion and two new hirings.
Davis’s first official day as Tenacity’s National Director of Promotion will be July 26. He joins Sr. VP of Promotion David Haley, and National Director of Promotion Gary Greenberg at the label headed by President Mike Kraski.
Davis’s other stops include Southeast regional for Country Thunder Records, and 18 years in country radio, including time programming WGNE/Jacksonville, FL.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to add someone with the passion, energy and knowledge of country music that Jeff brings to our team,” Kraski said.
Davis will continue to be based in Jacksonville and can be reached at 615-260-4975 or jeff.davis@tenacityrecords.com.
“We love Jeff and wish him great success in his new position,” said Cold River Pres. Pete O’Heeron. “His passion and dedication will be missed and it will take two people to replace him…and that is just what we decided to do.”
Jim Dandy has been promoted to National Director of Promotion for the Cold River team. New regionals joining immediately are WKDF’s Halie Hampton, and longtime radio personality Wayne Manning.
“We are excited about Halie and Wayne joining our team,” added O’Heeron. “They bring a new energy and passion to support the growing national audience of Katie Armiger.”
Mary Lynne O’Neal will continue her role as a regional.
