Big Agency

About Me


Welcome!
Welcome to Big Entertainment, the ideal source for all your entertainment requirements. Our goal at Big Entertainment is two-fold: We are a one-stop-shop for musicians ready to take their careers to the next level. We offer multiple services (booking, marketing, management, and more!) under one roof in an à la carte system. Sign up for the full package, or just the department you need. Our job is to help bands and managers develop the resources and grassroots marketing skills they need, not only to survive, but thrive in the music industry. Big Entertainment was founded to provide artists with a united strategy coupled with lower prices. Our unique structure guarantees that each division works together; creating a highly-skilled and committed team whose sole aim is to further the artist’s career. By adhering to a customized plan for each artist, we can foster an environment of ever-improving communication, knowledge, and success. Our efforts are currently focused throughout the Southeast. We have our sights set on expanding to the Northeast by the summer of 2008, after which we will be looking westward.
We also serve as the bridge between the artist and the entertainment consumer, providing quality entertainment, planning, marketing, publicity, and production for special events, both public and private. Big Entertainment sets a new standard, meeting all of your professional entertainment needs and leaving you with time and peace of mind to fully enjoy the success of your occasion. Because we work directly with both the entertainment provider and consumer directly, clients can be sure their event will go off without a hitch. The Big Entertainment vision unifies the goals of the artist and consumer, guaranteeing complete satisfaction for all parties involved.

Band Members:John Fisher (President) has been involved in the musical world for most of his life. With almost 20 years of experience as a performer in genres ranging from hard rock to bluegrass, John combines his extensive knowledge of the business with an artist’s perspective. His creativity and general resourcefulness are a natural extension of the Big Entertainment philosophy. He hopes to help other ambitious artists achieve their musical goals and build lasting careers living their dreams.
Jason "Gib" Gibson (Booking Agent, Founder) founded Big Entertainment after working in numerous roles throughout the music industry. He paid his dues as manager of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, lived on the road as tour manager of Barefoot Manner, and co-founded Blue Ridge Entertainment Agency. He has advised dozens of bands in the areas of marketing, booking, merchandising and accounting. Being on the road 20+ days a month taught Jason the ins and outs of being involved with popular touring acts and the venues they play. He realized that bands would benefit from an entertainment company that offered coordinated services under one roof and one philosophy.
Will Bradford (Publicist) is a man of many talents, having held a wide variety of music industry roles both onstage and off. He’s tackled publicity, promotions and booking for several indie labels and production companies including Naked Ear Records and Harmonized Records, working with clients such as Nils Lofgren, Burning Spear and Disco Biscuits. Will is also an accomplished musician, leading his own nationally touring band SeepeopleS alongside producing and playing on numerous records for other bands.
Anna Johnston (Booking Agent) found her love for music at Appalachian State University in the mountains of Boone, NC. She reached her stride as a representative of Jam Solid Entertainment, organizing and acting as a stage manager and booking agent for multi-band events. Her successes led her to the role of Talent Buyer at Raleigh¹s Downtown Event Center. She now lends her talents to the Big Entertainment team as head of the Talent Buying Booking Division.
Jason Beckwit (Band IT / Website Design) has dedicated over a decade to becoming a computer guru of many aspects. With a lifelong passion for music, Jason never discovered any talents as a musician, but always wanted to be a part of the industry. Through his knowledge of technology, his knack for internet creativity, and his passion for music, Jason has made his way into the music business, creating websites and providing IT Support for Big Entertainment, as well as many of the artists on our roster.
