Cheap Trick’s manager Dave Frey says, “BIG3 has a terrific and experienced staff who are committed to long-term marketing and doing
whatever it takes to win. The band is a big fish in a small pond
here and I am confident that every effort to promote this record
and the group will be executed. This is a very positive, back to
basics, artist-centric, and forward-thinking environment.”
