Brendon Anthony has been named VP of Big Loud Texas, which he will oversee from Austin in tandem with label co-founders Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall.

Anthony comes to Big Loud Texas from the Texas Music Office, where he served as director of an agency within the Office of the Governor. There, he helped industry partners find success in the Texas music market and drove music-related business development initiatives.

Previously, Anthony was Head of E-Commerce and Artist Relations for direct-to-fan platform ONELIVE Media, where he worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Willie Nelson and Mötley Crue.

"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," said Anthony, who is also a musician.

"Not only does he bring years of knowledge of the Texas music industry and culture to the table," added Randall of Anthony, "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."

As for us, we're just lucky there was food in our refrigerator this morning.
