Following Mickey Gamble’s passing this spring, the Crossroads Board of Directors has named Scott Wagner President/CEO and elected Jon Weisberger Chairman of the Board.
Scott Wagner, President/CEO
Wagner brings decades of experience to the position, with more than two at Crossroads, and offers a wealth of knowledge, expertise and insight. Before joining Crossroads, Wagner held various leadership positions, including Senior Vice President, Vice President of Sales and Label Operations, and Director of Sales at Pamplin Music Group. He also served as a National Account Executive for WEA Christian and held the positions of Regional Sales and Marketing Director at EMI Christian (now Capitol Christian) and Territory Representative at Spectra Distribution.
Says Wagner, “Crossroads has always had a commitment to great music, great artists, lasting relationships and forward thinking. As we look ahead, I'm focused on continuing that legacy and creating opportunities for the next generation of artists and industry leaders. I'm excited to continue to work alongside our team as we build on our strong foundation."
Jon Weisberger, Chairman of the Board
Weisberger, who joined Crossroads’ staff as an A&R director in 2019, is best known as a prolific, GRAMMY-nominated songwriter who earned International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Songwriter of the Year trophies in 2012 and 2025. He has extensive additional career credits as a performer, producer, broadcaster and award-winning music journalist, and spent 11 years as member of the IBMA’s Board of Directors, including two years as Chair.
“Mickey Gamble, who held both of these positions, was a commanding figure, not only at Crossroads but in the wider Bluegrass and Southern Gospel worlds,” he says. “Among other things, he believed strongly in music’s ability to foster community, building a company committed to supporting a wide-ranging roster — a family, he often said — of legends, leaders and developing artists in the Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk and Americana fields. Like Scott, I look forward to continuing that work with the talented and dedicated people we have here at Crossroads.”
