11th Hour and Crossroads Sign Long-term Agreement

Arden, NC - September 4, 2012 - One of the industry’s most talked-about new artists, 11th Hour, has just entered a long term recording agreement with Crossroads Entertainment & Marketing. The group is off to a strong start, already receiving multiple top 40 hits in the Singing News radio airplay charts and a recent top 10 nomination for Horizon Artist Of The Year in the 2012 Singing News Fan Awards.

“What a blessing," says group member Amber Eppinette. "Crossroads is such a reputable company, representing the finest Christian music artists. Being considered a part of their family is such an honor. 11th Hour’s prayer is to always be found doing the will of God and we are very thankful He has led us to Chris White and Crossroads. We look forward to a long and successful relationship for many years to come!"

Crossroads executive Chris White states, "I got a call from Steve French with the Kingdom Heirs late on a Sunday night. He said, 'We just worked with a group you need to sign. They are incredible!' Since we don’t sign very many new artists these days, I hesitated, but then I thought that they must be special for him to call me. Truth is, they are, and I’m glad I took Steve’s advice."

The new record, titled Steppin’ Out, is scheduled for an October 16th street date. Look for the project at your local retailers or visit online at www.crossroadsmusic.com.
