History

Get to Know Us

Big Beef Records is a Dayton, Ohio-based record label that was originally founded in 1978 as a moniker for producing home taped recordings for Andy Valeri’s ‘living room band’ JA.  Big Beef later went on to play a somewhat prominent role in the explosively creative Dayton music scene during the 1990’s and into the 21st century (before war and political turbulence directed it’s energy into other projects).
