Nashville, TN (December 4, 2017) – Black River Christian’s VP of National Promotion Brian Thiele announces Ali Matkosky as the new Director of National Promotion and Strategy as reported by CMB.
 
"I had the privilege of working with Ali for four years before I came to Black River, and I can honestly say that she is one of the best Promotion people in this industry,” says Thiele. “We are excited for her to bring her expertise, personality, and passion to Black River Christian!”
 
Most recently, Matkosky served at Word Entertainment as their Director of National Promotion. Prior to her four years at Word, she spent two years at Provident Label Group. Matkosky is an alumnus of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

Wrapping up 2017 with a few An Acoustic Christmas with Josh Wilson tour dates, Wilson is writing and recording for his forthcoming debut album on Black River Christian.
