The annual Chamber of Commerce luncheon hosted a Western Pennsylvania native who has made it big in Nashville.
At Wednesday’s chamber luncheon, the sold out crowd heard from John Esposito, the chairman and CEO of Warner Music Nashville, who has worked with artists like Blake Shelton, Dan and Shay and others. He said that he liked working in music because of its emotional impact.
