The return of Lost Highway:
Lost Highway was founded in 2000 and absorbed into Mercury Nashville in 2012 following the retirement of founder Luke Lewis.

Robert Knotts, Co-Head of Lost Highway: “Casey has built a reputation in Nashville as an innovative music marketer with a deep understanding of artistic vision and how to effectively bring that vision to life. Similarly, Vinny has a unique skillset in connecting an artist’s vision with a receptive audience across an ever-changing digital landscape. Together they will play an integral role in serving Lost Highway’s longstanding vision as a springboard for music’s most important and culture defining artists.”
