With class, wisdom, and wit, she’s welcomed and mentored countless newcomers to the music business.

We Remember

SOURCE Founder Pat Rolfe

Marty Craighead

In May 2024 we lost SOURCE Founder and champion of women, Pat Rolfe. Pat was a driving force and role model for all of us. She began her career in the music industry in 1996 with a call from Lamar Fike asking her to join him at Hill & Range. From then until 1972, she worked with luminaries such as Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold, Hank Snow, Eddie Rabbit, Bill Monroe, George Morgan and many other legends. One of Pat’s career highlights during this time was working with Elvis Presley.

Pat became one of the first women to head a major publishing company when she was elevated to general manager in 1972. A fierce supporter of other women, she brought Celia Froehlig into the company, where they both stayed until Chappel Music purchased the Hill & Range companies in 1975. Pat continued on at Chappell Music and during her tenure, the company was named ASCAP Publisher of the Year seven times.

Pat rose to the position of vice president and held that post until 1987 when Warner Bros. Music purchased Chappell. That same year, the late Connie Bradley, longtime ASCAP Nashville head, offered Pat the position of director of membership relations. Pat remained with ASCAP, rising to the position of vice president, until 2010. During her time at ASCAP, Pat brought in writers such as Tony Mullins, Deryl Dodd, Trevor Rosen, Hillary Lindsey, Josh Kear, Chris Tompkins, Michael Knox, Gerry House, Tim Ryan, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley and Wynonna.

Alongside Judy Harris and Sheila Shipley Buddy, Pat’s vision led to the creation of SOURCE in 1991, and we will always work to honor her legacy and follow her example.

In 1994, Marty moved to Javelina Recording Studios to serve as General Manager and worked
