Marsh Led Tour Productions for Superstars *NSync, Backstreet Boys, Cher, Fleetwood Mac, David Copperfield, and More
NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / February 1, 2026 / Entertainment producer Joseph Marsh today announced the filing of a lawsuit in Tennessee state court against This Is Hit, Inc. d/b/a BBR Music Group (a subsidiary of BMG). The complaint alleges breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and intentional misrepresentation, all stemming from BBR Music Group's treatment of multi-platinum recording artist Jimmie Allen. Marsh is represented by Rob Housman (Book Hill Partners-Law), along with local Tennessee counsel.
The Complaint alleges that BBR Music Group suspended and then publicly dissolved its contract with Allen in 2023, despite having no contractual right to do so.
"Set aside the star-studded names and spicy backdrop, at its core, this case is Contracts 101." said Housman. "With today's Grammys, this lawsuit is a cautionary tale for all artists-whether you're a multi-platinum star or a rising star," Housman added. Jimmie Allen, a multi-platinum artist got his first Grammy nomination for best new artist in 2022. "If it can happen to a multi-platinum star it can happen to most any artist."
Joseph Marsh, who acquired rights to Allen's contractual claims through assignment, is serving as plaintiff. Marsh is a veteran entertainment producer with a four-decade career spanning major global tours and productions for artists including *NSync, Backstreet Boys, Cher, Fleetwood Mac, and David Copperfield.
The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and other relief to be determined at trial. The filing can be accessed here HERE.
Rob Housman, who is lead counsel in the case, is a partner with Book Hill Partners Law, a Washington DC-based firm. Media can contact Marsh's team via: rhousman@bookhillpartners.com
