Veteran radio executive Kerry Wolfe has joined Stone Country Records as Director of Promotion for the label, effective March 1. He will report directly to Stone Country Records VP of Promotion & Marketing Matt Galvin.
Over the course of his four decade career, Wolfe has spent over 30 years with iHeartMedia (Milwaukee), rising to Senior VP of Programming where he oversaw stations across multiple formats. He led iHeartMedia’s six-station cluster to consistent ratings success, most recently commanding a combined 33% share of audience in the 2020 Nielsen ratings.
Wolfe’s leadership efforts have resulted in his stations receiving five CMA Awards, an ACM Award, and multiple Country Aircheck Large Market Station of the Year awards. Wolfe has been named one of Radio Ink’s Top 25 Country Program Directors, as well as a Country Aircheck Large Market Programmer of the Year multiple times.
“What’s unique about Kerry joining the Stone Country Records team is that both Matt Galvin and I previously worked as midwest reps for other labels,” shares SVP of Promotion & Marketing April Rider. “Like many other reps, Matt and I just adored Kerry as a PD and so appreciated his passion for our artists and their music. The fact that Kerry was always accessible to us even when we weren’t VPs really meant the most to us! We are thrilled to work with him as he starts this new chapter of his career on our side of the fence.”
“I can’t wait to get going! I look forward to working with all of our great radio partners and the incredible artists on the label,” adds Wolfe. “This is going to be fun!”
