Feb 28, 2024 – Nashville, TN – Jay DeMarcus’ Red Street Records unveils a promising start to 2024 with the addition of two new staff members and the advancement of existing Director of Country Radio Field Promotion Sally Allgeier. Red Street, home of Country acts Chris Lane, Neon Union, Ryan Larkins and Ryan Griffin as well as Christian artists Jason Crabb, Consumed By Fire, Cade Thompson and Iveth Luna has seen steady growth since its launch and are expectant of a strong year ahead with this expansion. CEO Jay DeMarcus shares, “I couldn’t be more excited for the growth here at Red Street Records! Jess and Amanda will be fantastic additions to an already stellar team, and I’m eager to watch our very own Sally Allgeier excel in her new role. This is only the beginning for Red Street.”

As Red Street Country’s Director of Field Promotion since 2022, Holy Cross College graduate Sally Allgeier elevates to National Director of Country Promotion, directly reporting to the department’s SVP of Country Promotion Andy Elliot. With enthusiasm and passion for the growth of the label, Sally will lead the national radio strategy for the Country roster.

Signing on as the newest member of the Red Street staff, seasoned industry executive Jess Loper will assume the role of Vice President of A&R and Publishing for Red Street Christian. Her unmatched expertise as the former VP of Brand Management for Toby Mac’s Gotee Records and Publishing (Emack Music), seamlessly transitions her as the perfect candidate to manage the entirety of Red Street Records and Red Street Publishing’s Christian roster of writers, artists and music. After the heartbreaking loss of former department head Don Koch, Loper joins the staff to fill the shoes of a Christian music legend and industry great.

Long Island native and University of Central Florida grad Amanda Roach joins Red Street Records as Manager of Country A&R and Publishing. Roach, former Catalog Manager and A&R Coordinator at Warner Chappell Music, joins the staff in direct report to Kelly King, Sr. Director of A&R and Publishing. She’s eager to support Red Street's diverse roster of incredibly talented artists and songwriters and is a promising addition to the already solid team.

Red Street Records Owner and Chairman Dan Crockett shares his enthusiasm for this exciting new chapter. He states, “I couldn’t be more proud to elevate such a hard working, resilient team member like Sally. She has grown tremendously in the two short years she’s been with Red Street and alongside industry powerhouse Jess Loper and rising star Amanda Roach, will be such an integral part of our continued success.”

After the December 2023 exit of Regional Director of Country Field Promotion Emily Bermann, Red Street Records is seeking a strong, self-starting candidate to fill the role. To inquire about the open position, please contact Andy.e@redstreetrecords.com.
