Big Loud Shirt Publishing has re-signed deals with writers Sarah Buxton and Rodney Clawson.
Clawson first joined Big Loud Shirt in 2008 and has since become an in-demand producer. His songwriting credits include 24 No. 1 hits, such as George Strait’s 2008 CMA Single of the Year “I Saw God Today,” Luke Bryan’s “Drunk on You,” Jason Aldean’s “Take a Little Ride,” Kenny Chesney’s “American Kids,” and Florida Georgia Line’s “Dirt,” “Confession,” and “May We All” (featuring Tim McGraw), among others. Clawson is a six-time CMA Triple Play Award winner and two-time BMI Songwriter of the Year. As a producer, he’s scored a No. 1 with Jake Owen’s “Barefoot Blue Jean Night.”
Buxton first signed with Big Loud Shirt in 2012 after her career as a solo artist, and found success when Keith Urban released “Stupid Boy,” which she co-wrote with Dave Berg and Deanna Bryant. The song won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 2008, and Buxton has also penned hits like Sara Evans’ “Slow Me Down,” Chris Lane’s “Fix,” and Florida Georgia Line’s “Sun Daze.”
“Rodney has been with Big Loud Shirt for about 10 years now. He is as much a part of our family and story as anyone can be,”says Big Loud partner and award-winning songwriter Craig Wiseman. “He is the ultimate professional and part of the bedrock of Big Loud. So honored to continue on with Rodney. And Sarah has been the perfect addition to the Big Loud family from day one. A dear friend to us all for years. Her first co-write with Chris [Tompkins] and Rodney [Clawson] was a huge hit for The Band Perry and now with back-to-back Chris Lane hits and too many cuts to list, it is so gratifying to watch her enjoy the success she richly deserves. We big loud love us some Sarah!”
“I love my Big Loud fam. There’s no one I’d rather make my memories with!” said Buxton on the re-signing.
“I’m honored to continue working with my Big Loud Shirt family,” added Clawson. “We’ve had nine great years together and I’m looking forward to many more.”
