NASHVILLE-based BIG YELLOW DOG MUSIC (BYDM) has signed hit songwriter JIM BEAVERS to a publishing deal. The former CAPITOL RECORDS NASHVILLE executive has written the #1 songs "Drink A Beer" (LUKE BRYAN), "Watching Airplanes" (GARY ALLAN), "Why Don't We Just Dance" (JOSH TURNER), “Red Solo Cup” (TOBY KEITH), “Sideways” (DIERKS BENTLEY) and more. BEAVERS also co-wrote the new HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH Country single, "Hold On."

“I have been a fan of JIM since my college days when I would hoist up my red Solo cup to ‘Red Solo Cup,’” said BYDM Sr. Creative Dir. LAUREN FUNK. "Little did I know back then that I’d get the chance to work with such a prolific hitmaker. His wit and ability to turn a phrase are what make his songs so special and unique. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with JIM and welcome him to the BIG YELLOW DOG team.”

"Simply put, no other publisher in NASHVILLE can do what BIG YELLOW DOG does so well,” BEAVERS said. "I’m excited and proud to be associated with LAUREN, CARLA [WALLACE], KERRY [O'NEIL] and the entire BIG YELLOW DOG crew.”
