Texas music veteran Brendon Anthony has been named Vice President of Big Loud Texas, effective immediately. Based in Austin, Anthony will oversee the label imprint across its functions, working hand in hand with Big Loud Texas’ Co-Founders Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall, as well as key members of the Big Loud Records team.
“I am very proud to join the amazing team at Big Loud and look forward to working with Miranda and Jon to create something truly special in Big Loud Texas,” Anthony says. “Being a part of growing and supporting the Texas music industry has been my focus for over 25 years and I am thrilled to continue that effort by joining Big Loud Texas.”
“We’re so proud to have Brendon join us at Big Loud Texas,” Lambert shares. “He is as passionate as we are about the Texas music scene and has knowledge that will benefit artists in so many ways.”
“Not only does he bring years of knowledge of the Texas music industry and culture to the table,” Randall notes, “but his legendary and respected musicianship has given him firsthand experience in touring and recording, and a deep understanding of what Texas music artists need in a record label. We are lucky to have him.”
Anthony most recently served as Director of the Texas Music Office, the agency within the Office of the Governor tasked with overseeing policy related to the Texas commercial music industry. During his tenure as Director, Anthony created the Music Friendly Texas Communities program, and was instrumental in the creation of BMI Texas and the Texas Music Incubator rebate program, which supports music venues in Texas with over $20 million in tax rebates.
Prior to that he served as Head of E-Commerce and Artist Relations for ONELIVE Media. He is also a longtime touring and recording musician.
“We’re so proud to have Brendon as part of the Big Loud Texas team,” Big Loud COO Austen Adams adds. “With his experience and vast knowledge on all things Texas music, he’s the perfect partner to help realize Jon and Miranda’s vision for this new venture. We are honored to be part of his story and excited to see what this next chapter brings.”
