In a significant expansion of its team and roster, Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment has announced multiple strategic signings in late 2025, positioning the label for substantial growth in the coming year. The Nashville-based record company has bolstered its operational capacity with three key industry professionals while simultaneously securing the return of Grammy-winning act The Band Perry to its artist lineup.
The label’s executive team additions include Bridget Herrmann as Senior Director of Promotion & Marketing, Dexter Bensman as Head of Digital Marketing, and Christina Hunt as Label Coordinator. These strategic hires reflect President/CEO Jimmy Harnen’s vision to strengthen the company’s marketing capabilities and artist development resources as Nashville Harbor expands its footprint in the country music landscape. Herrmann brings valuable expertise from her previous role as Director of Regional Promotion at Red Street Records.
Nashville Harbor’s strategic executive hires underscore Harnen’s commitment to expanding the label’s marketing prowess and artist development capabilities.
Perhaps most significantly, The Band Perry has returned to their Big Machine Label Group roots by re-signing with Nashville Harbor Records. The trio, now consisting of Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry, and Johnny Costello, brings their impressive track record of 2.5 million albums and 12 million singles sold since their 2010 debut. Their catalog, which includes hits that have garnered over 1 billion streams, represents a significant addition to Nashville Harbor’s artist portfolio. The signing marks an emotional reunion with their original label family.
“This reunion marks a full-circle moment for both the label and the band,” an industry insider noted, highlighting the existing relationship between the artists and Harnen’s leadership team. The Band Perry’s management team at Make Wake Artists, including Shelby Marvel, Sophia Sansone, and Chris Kappy, will work closely with Nashville Harbor’s newly expanded staff to coordinate upcoming releases and promotional strategies. The label plans to leverage multiple streaming platforms to maximize the band’s reach across diverse listener demographics.
The trio of executive hires arrives at a pivotal moment as the label prepares for The Band Perry’s new creative output. With Herrmann leading promotion efforts, Bensman driving digital strategy, and Hunt coordinating label operations, Nashville Harbor has assembled a team specifically designed to maximize the potential of its growing roster. The label plans to develop sync deals for The Band Perry’s upcoming releases, potentially creating significant revenue through placements in film, television, and advertising.
These moves signal the label’s commitment to building a robust infrastructure capable of supporting both established acts and emerging artists as Nashville Harbor continues its ambitious expansion plans.
