AUSTIN (CelebrityAccess) – An eight-year veteran of Messina Touring Group, Rachel Powers has been elevated to Vice President from Director of Marketing. Powers will take on added responsibility in her new role as she spearheads tour marketing and promotion for CMA Entertainer of the Year Eric Church and country superstar Blake Shelton.
