Troy Brown and Mark Oliverius have announced the grand opening of their new entertainment group,Big Timber Entertainment (BTE). BTE is a full-service, multi-genre entertainment company encompassing a record label, artist management, radio promotion, record distribution and publishing company, along with live show production all under one roof.

Big Timber Entertainment came to life when music business veteran and executive Brown joined forces with music producer, director, and hit songwriter Oliverius as they realized their extraordinary working synergy and their shared vision to develop and nurture emerging young artists to succeed.

Brown has a background in accounting and quality management. He is the head of a prominent global hardwood lumber company in Wisconsin and it was his passion for the timber industry and love of music that sparked the name Big Timber Entertainment.

Oliverius has had over 40 songs recorded by major label artists including Joe Diffie’s hit “Whole Lotta Gone.” His production company OMGNashville is currently producing recording projects, music videos, social media content and commercials for his extensive roster of clients.

Brown and Oliverius also have to their credit the live production. That’s 70s Music!, under the BTE roof, where spectators can relive the best of times with multi-genre vocalist Mia Brown and The Nashville Hitmen. Under the musical direction of Oliverius, the cast performs some of the most iconic songs of the 60s and 70s from Linda Ronstadt, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, The Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Dionne Warwick, to B.W. Stevenson, Jackie DeShannon, Journey, Hall & Oates, Paul Simon, The Spinners and Jackson Browne.
