HOME ON THE RANGE

Range Media Partners has brought aboard Nashville vets William Lowery and Shawn McSpadden as, respectively, SVP of Partnerships and Business Development and managing partner.

Lowery (pictured in black) brings with him a roster of clients via his venture advisory firm, Brigade Media Capital, which has interests in a portfolio of media companies in production, sports, music and consumer products. Lowery previously served as a senior executive at Endeavor Content.

McSpadden was a founding manager at Red Light Management Nashville, where he spent 17 years overseeing music publishing and outside business ventures and managing artists. As Range Nashville’s first managing partner, McSpadden will lead the build-out of its services and support the company’s roster, which includes Midland, Hailey Whitters, Ryan Bingham, Stephen Wilson Jr., Drayton Farley and Brent Cobb.

“It’s been extraordinary to witness Range's rise and expansion, so partnering with them for a new regional focus is an honor,” reads a quote from Lowery. “We plan to be a disruptive force here in Nashville and the surrounding markets, and the services provided will be much-needed resources for content creators and media investors in the region.”

“I love being part of this team," added McFadden. "The culture at Range is amazing, and the people are always pushing to be better and think differently about our artists.”
