BE Music & Entertainment has announced the addition of former Rocketown Records President Don Donahue as the company’s vice president of live events and program development.

A 20-year veteran of the Nashville music industry, Donahue launched the boutique artist label Rocketown Records in 1996, selling more than 6 million albums while working with a roster that included artists Chris Rice, Ginny Owens, Shaun Groves and Wayne Kirkpatrick, among others. Previously, he served as VP/artist development at Intero Alliance, where he co-executive produced the global Avon Voices campaign.

“This is a bit of a ‘full circle’ moment for me in my career, as [BE Music & Entertainment President] Michael Blanton was the first person to hire me in the industry more than 20 years ago,” Donahue said in a release.  “It feels like a wonderful homecoming.”

With offices located in Dallas and Nashville, BE Music & Entertainment provides client services and support in management, production and publishing in all music genres.  The agency operates as a subsidiary of Dallas-based parent company London Broadcasting.

A Dallas-based artist development agency London Broadcasting Co. has opened BE Music & Entertainment in Nashville. Led by executives Terry London (former Gaylord exec), Carl Kornmeyer and Michael Blanton, the company provides management, production and publishing services to clients across music genres, as well as film, TV, visual art and literature.
