Round Hill Music Acquires Big Loud Shirt Industries Song Catalog

Round Hill Music has acquired Big Loud Shirt Industries’ song catalog. The companies will form a joint venture.

The Big Loud catalog contains 32 hit songs by writers including Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, Joey Moi, Matt Dragstrem, Chris Lane, Sarah Buxton, Tyler Hubbard, Brian Kelley, Cory Battan, Deanna Bryant, Tyler Hayes, Mike Reid, Jenn Schott, Nicole Witt, and Big Loud founder Craig Wiseman.

The catalog includes such songs as Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying”; Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and “Blown Away” as well as George Strait’s “I Saw God Today.”

The deal also includes an alignment with Big Loud Bucks administration and Information, the music admin arm of Big Loud Shirt. Wiseman and his team will also work with Round Hill Music going forward.

The deal follows the recent Round Hill Music acquisition of the catalog of Roots 49, including songs from Danny Myrick. Earlier this year, Round Hill Music acquired Big Tractor’s catalog.

“Craig has nurtured this amazing culture at Big Loud Shirts, which is based on family and creative freedom,” Round Hill Music president Neil Gillis said in a statement. “It is this culture that has helped generated the unprecedented success the company has attained.”

Big Loud Shirt founder Wiseman says he was impressed with how the Round Hill Music team has “a serious passion for creating a modern music company.” He added, he is “happy to be independent with our new Round Hill partners.”
