Jackson, MS – The Malaco Music Group, one of the largest U.S. independent record companies, announces the Board of Directors’ election of Thomas J. Couch, Jr. as President and CEO of the company.
Mr. Couch, currently a Board member, has been associated with the company for more than 15 years. He started in the entertainment business at Ole Miss when he formed a regional booking agency and started the Waldoxy record label after graduating. Mr. Couch succeeds his father, co-founder Thomas Couch, Sr. in that position.
“Tommy was instrumental and took the lead in several of our acquisitions throughout the years, with the most important being the purchase of 50% interest in Select-O-Hits, the premier independent record distributor located in Memphis,” according to Couch, Sr. “In this ever-changing and challenging music business, Tommy has the leadership, experience and vision to carry Malaco forward.”
