During a playback event for the highly anticipated new album by
Warner Records singer-songwriter
Brandy Clark, the following people wondered if there might be a mute button for
us (l-r): producer
Brandi Carlile, legendary Warner exec
Lenny Waronker, EVP A&R for Warner and
Reprise Jeff Sosnow, Clark and Warner Co-Chair/COO
Tom Corson.
Sosnow is feeling particularly jazzed due to a number of fabulous things, including Clark's recent
Tony nomination for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics) for
Shucked; his prevailing in a competitive signing contest for bluegrass virtuoso
Billy Strings; the burgeoning success of artist
Kanii, the most recent fruit of the
Masked Records/
Roger Gengo JV (which Sosnow brought into Warner); and a roster that includes
Mac Miller,
Benson Boone (hot new EP),
Nessa Barrett (gold single) and
Rüfüs Du Sol. He will not be adding this mention to his highlight reel.
