Family trio, the Jones sign with Patterson Promotions

(Wheelersburg, Ohio) Pauline Patterson is happy to announce that Joy Jones signed an agreement to receive national radio promotions for her family group, the Jones's this month. Derec and Ryan Jones are Joy's sons and they travel nationally and internationally taking the Gospel in song with their ministry. 

The trio won a spot on the National Quartet Convention main stage this year in Pigeon Forge, TN. Their song, "Come On, Come On" is their latest release. Joy started singing at age four and was raised in an evangelistic family. They traveled the United States, Canada, Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico from her youth into young adulthood. In 1996 Joy joined New Journey as a featured vocalist on many songs, including the group’s first top ten radio single. During this phase the group signed with Homeland Records in Franklin, Tennessee and also signed with Parker Music Group, a booking agency in Nashville. 

They have been a part of the Gaither Homecoming Series concerts and video shoots. Other appearances were made on television programs such as TBN, Gary McSpadden’s Gospel Hour, & multiple appearances on Daystar Television Network. Joy has also had a successful solo ministry and was voted "Favorite Soprano of the Year" by the Kentucky Gospel Music Association. She had a national hit song with "Do it Afraid." Derec and Ryan have sang as a duet "The Jones Boys" and recorded two projects and have drawn much positive attention to their ministry. When Joy and the boys decided to form the trio in 2011, they made a great impact with appearances on Daystar Television Network and other nationally aired programs. Pauline Patterson notes, "I'm very excited to work with this talented family trio. I believe people are sure to embrace their music. Their mission is to go where the Lord leads them."

Tribute rings in the holiday season with the release of their first Christmas recording



HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 17, 2014) – The Tribute Quartet is excited to announce the release of their first Christmas project, “The Thought of Christmas,” for tomorrow Tuesday, November 18, 2014.

Tribute – a male quartet comprised of group manager and lead singer Gary Casto, baritone singer and pianist Josh Singletary, tenor singer Riley Harrison Clark and bass singer Anthony Davis – released its debut project as a Daywind recording artist in August, “Journey of Hope.”

The group’s long-time producer – Roger Talley – was the architect for both “The Thought of Christmas” and “Journey of Hope.”

“I am truly excited about this Christmas project,” emphasizes Casto. “I can honestly say that this could be one of our best projects to date. Once again, teaming up with Roger Talley and working with the staff at Daywind Records has helped Tribute Quartet create a project that we can be proud of for many years to come.”

The group’s first Christmas recording is an 11-song project that includes timeless classics such as “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Jesus, What a Wonderful Child,” “Come On, Ring Those Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Mary Did You Know?”
          
“I had a great time working with Tribute on this new Christmas project,” explains Talley. “They sang better than I have ever heard them. This project sounds like the Christmas music that I have loved for years, and I am so proud to have been a part of it.”

Tribute joined the Daywind family earlier this year. The group has produced top-charting songs such as “Homecoming Day,” “Homesick Angel” and “Good News from Jerusalem,” a No. 1 song. Tribute’s latest radio release – “I Am a Soldier” – has risen to No. 49 on the Singing News Top 80 Chart for the month of December.

“We have been so excited about the release of ‘Journey of Hope,’ and now, Tribute has followed that up with yet another outstanding project,’” says Daywind president Ed Leonard. “The group continues to hold itself to such a high standard, and the exceptional quality of these top-notch recordings are evidence of that. The response to ‘Journey of Hope’ has been overwhelming so far, and Tribute fans – and the legions of people who love classic Christmas music – are going to adore this project as well.”

Daywind Records is home to an award-winning roster of artists, including Greater Vision, the Nelons, Legacy Five, the Blackwood Brothers, the Bowling Family, Joseph Habedank, the Hoskins Family and Wilburn & Wilburn. Daywind is distributed to retail through New Day Christian Distributors, Select-O-Hits, and all major digital outlets, including iTunes.

Claire Lynch Releases Holiday AlbumAward-Winning Artist
Rings in the Season with Holiday! 


NASHVILLE, TN – 2013 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year, and winner of the 2014 IBMA Song of the Year (“Dear Sister”), Claire Lynch, is excited to announce a very special release for the holidays on her own Thrill Hill Records. Holiday! is Claire’s first seasonal album and is available now at her live shows and through the Claire Lynch website.

Holiday! sets the mood for enjoying holiday traditions and cheer. “I took songs from my childhood holiday memories and then we put the ‘CLB twist’ on them,” the multi-award-winning artist says.

The ten-track album is melodic and contemporary with a retro charm that harkens back to great, traditional holiday albums. Holiday! features an array of seasonal standards like “Home for the Holidays,” “White Christmas,” and a special version of “Scarlett Ribbons” with harmonies by Claire’s daughter, Christy.

Holiday! puts emphasis on Claire’s delicate vocals and the instrumentation of her virtuosic players creating a delicious intersection of bluegrass and jazz.

The current Claire Lynch Band is a powerful juggernaut, a quartet that has the innate ability to perfectly interpret the beauty, subtlety, and genre-defying sophistication of Claire’s music. The CLB features like-minded musicians blending tradition and innovation - two-time IBMA-winning bassist-clawhammer banjo player-dancer-percussionist Mark Schatz, soulful mandolinist-guitarist Matt Wingate, and young string wizard Bryan McDowell.

Holiday! was recorded at Lynch’s recording studio, The Pine Room, and engineered by Todd Phillips, who also appears on the album as percussionist and has traveled with the CLB.

“I can say that this is the most-relaxed and happy I've felt while recording an album in my entire career. Many years have passed since I first expressed interest in doing a holiday recording. Here is a collection of holiday classics with that fresh “CLB” feel, yet grounded with the sentimental feeling we all sense this time of year.” –Claire Lynch  


Track Listing: 

1.  Home for the Holidays
2.  It Came Upon a Midnight
Clear
3.  Snow Day

Balsam Range Announces Winter Concert Series


Plans are complete for the 5th annual series with
IBMA Entertainer of the Year and guests at historic Colonial Theater

NASHVILLE, TN --- Balsam Range has announced a truly great lineup for its 5th Annual Winter Concert Series. The band brings five concerts to their Haywood County, NC home each year, all presented at the historic Colonial Theater.

“Our winter concert series is a kind of gift to our community. It’s an opportunity to share the talents of some really amazing artists that we admire and don’t usually get to perform with,” says Balsam Range’s Tim Surrett.

Guests for each of the five concerts include fan favorites and award winners. The 2014-15 series will include The Jeff Little Trio with Steve Lewis and Josh Scott; The Molly Tuttle Trio; North Carolina’s own, The Harris Brothers; The Snyder Family Band; and The Studio Dream Team, comprised of musicians Jeff Collins, David Johnson and Tony Creasman. Concerts are held at the Colonial Theater in Canton on the first Saturday of each month, December 2014 through April 2015. Balsam Range, winner of the 2014 IBMA Entertainer of the Year, also performs at each show.

Special guest artists are selected by the members of Balsam Range. Tim Surrett, Buddy Melton, Caleb Smith, Darren Nicholson and Marc Pruett often use their many hours on the road to talk about and share with each other the music of artists they admire.

“We love to get our own musical heroes on these shows,” says mandolin player extraordinaire, Darren Nicholson. “Musicians are inspired by other artists. It’s just as much fun for us to share an evening with these folks as it is for our fans and friends to hear them.”

Balsam Range tries also to bring artists to the series who don’t regularly play in the area. Past concerts, which have all been sell-outs, have boasted guests from among the top names in the business as well as fast-rising stars of acoustic music. Guests have included Tony Rice, Bobby Hicks, John Wiggins, Carl Jackson, Jerry Salley, Larry Cordle, Jim Hurst, Shawn Camp, The Sweet Lowdown, John Driskell Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band and more.

The band gratefully acknowledges its sponsors for the 2014-15 series: Amy Spivey of ERA Sunburst RealtyThe Waynesville Inn Golf Resort and Spa, and Smoky Mountain Roasters Coffee Shop.

In addition to IBMA Entertainer of the Year, Balsam Range was also honored with Vocal Group of the Year, and single awards were given to Buddy Melton (Male Vocalist of the Year) and Tim Surrett (Mentor Award - one of a series of special honors called Momentum Awards - for his inspired work with young and developing artists).

Steve Ladd Releases New Christmas CD


Nashville, TN (October 30, 2014) Phenomenal Gospel recording artist, Steve Ladd, fresh from his California tour with Michael English, is releasing a new Christmas CD - A Christmas Hymn.  

It's been a while since a solo Christmas project has generated this much excitement. The album will be available on both iTunes and Amazon for sale on Tuesday, November 18th and pre-order for the two are already underway. If you pre-order on iTunes you will also get an instant download of "What Child Is This”.

Steve Ladd commented, "There are no songs about Santa Clause, Rudolph, or Frosty. The whole album is full of Hymns ALL about Christ's' birth. My albums normally have heavy productions, background singing and you name it, but this is very intimate. Just my voice and piano, recorded with Gaither Vocal Band pianist Matthew Holt. My family is getting back to basics for this Christmas season and away from the constant commercialization of what we make the day more about. This album reflects that. It's a simple album, but has a lot of passion in it. I think my fans will appreciate it."

New Jim Brady Trio and New Booth Brothers debut at Legacy Five's New Year's Eve Celebration

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 17, 2014) – The debut of the Jim Brady Trio and the Booth Brothers first concert with new group member Paul Lancaster will highlight Legacy Five’s New Year’s Eve Celebration, which will be held at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

What better way than to ring out the old year and sing in the new year … the end of a season and the start of a new one."

There will be four sessions of this year’s New Year’s Eve Celebration event, beginning at 7 p.m. on Dec. 30 with a lineup that includes the Collingsworth Family, the Burchfield Brothers, Triumphant Quartet and Tim Lovelace.
