Brett Beavers Big Deal BMG signing pic

DIGNITY ABOVE ALL: Brett Beavers celebrates being the first signing under Big Deal Music’s joint venture with BMG Chrysalis with a typical trade shot. When Big Deal chief Kenny MacPherson was told that the country songwriter/producer wanted “a tiger on his team,” he knew what to do to express his seriousness and tenacity: Put on a tiger suit. Kenny, of course, has an extensive wardrobe of costumes to suit every publishing contingency, including donkey, penguin, sexy mermaid and Scotsman. Seen wondering if this is one of those weird dreams where everybody in your industry is staring at you are (l-r) Big Deal SVP Pete Robinson, BMG Chrysalis’ Daniel Lee, attorney Chip Petree, Beavers, MacPherson, BMG Chrysalis EVP Kos Weaver and Big Deal SVP Dale Bobo.
