"During these challenges, opportunities present themselves. The pandemic has certainly provided its fair share of both. Our leadership team rallied and identified some tactical moves that will help take our company to the next level, making us stronger than ever heading into 2021," says Jennifer Moore, VP of sales and marketing. DCR Nashville announces the addition of industry veteran, Paul Owen, as company president. Joining the existing team of CEO and founder: Howard Jones; general manager: John Schirmer, VP of sales and marketing: Moore. Founder, Jones, adds "For the foreseeable future the pandemic will continue to bring many changes and opportunities to our industry. Some of these changes will be difficult and others are not. In what has been a year of difficult decisions, the opportunity to add Paul Owen to the DCR Nashville executive team is the perfect example of an easy decision. The addition of a longtime friend and industry legend such as Paul to the team here at DCR will help prepare ourselves to embrace all that is to come.

DCR Nashville and I have had a close working relationship for many years and I've watched it grow into the respected company it is today. Obviously, the startup of our industry is dictated by many factors post COVID, but I could not think of a better place to be when it starts back up again. I look forward to working closely with Howard and his team and jumping back on the music industry's fast riding train we all have all missed so much" says Owen.
