If Nashville had a Mount Rushmore of record executives, then surely Joe Galante would be on it. For my money, nobody has had a bigger or more positive and lasting impact on the country music record business than Joe. His bio below outlines just a few of the many highlights of his legendary career.

Wes Vause is the Founder and CEO of Press On Publicity. Previously, he spent 14 years in publicity at Sony Music Nashville, and 8 years as SVP of Publicity at Warner Music Nashville. Along the way, he has helped build careers for more A-list artists than anyone I know.

The Smartest People In The Room^® is a series of one-on-one conversations between music industry executives and personalities hosted by Tom Truitt, Managing Director of the Music & Live Entertainment practice. These hour long conversations draw an audience of hundreds and feature every type of global music industry executive, including agents, managers, attorneys, business managers, promoters, publishers, working musicians, songwriters. The audience is global, with strong concentration in music business centers like New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, London, Toronto, San Francisco, Austin and more.
