StowTown Records and Triumphant celebrate the release of ‘Living In Harmony’

(Nashville, TN) StowTown Records and one of Southern Gospel’s most popular quartets, Triumphant, are proud to announce the release of their brand new project, Living In Harmony.
The album, which hit the market on April 14, made an impressive debut by landing in the Top 10 of the recent Soundscan Southern Album Chart and the Top 100 of the Christian Music Chart.
“Triumphant is very excited about our new StowTown record release. We have been working on this project for several months and really spent a lot of time picking songs for this recording,” said David Sutton, longtime tenor and co-founder of the group. “We feel truly blessed and honored to have received the songs that we got for this project from some of the best writers in our field of music today.”
“Our prayer is that we can portray these songs in a way that people will hear the lyrics and feel the presence of God in their lives while listening.” “Living in Harmony”, written by Jeff Bumgardner and Triumphant baritone Scott Inman, also happens to be the first single release from the project and is now being heard throughout the country.
“If there has ever been a time where Christians need to come together for the cause of Christ, NOW is the time,” exclaimed Inman. “I pray “Living in Harmony” is a lyric people will put in motion on a daily basis.”
Triumphant is currently holding a social media contest on Facebook and Twitter for all of their followers. Fans can send the group a photo by Thursday, April 30, showing themselves along with their purchase of Living In Harmony at a local Christian bookstore or outlet and be entered into a special drawing. The winner will earn an exclusive dinner with the entire group in the near future.
This marks the premiere release with StowTown for Triumphant, a multi-award winning quartet who joined the fast-rising label last summer. “We are very thankful for the relationship we have developed with the StowTown team. We are looking forward to a long-term relationship with this company,” added Sutton. “They have a heart for the groups and a heart for making good music. That’s a company we want our name to be attached to and are so honored to be a part of.”
“We all want to ‘live in harmony’ together and we hope you enjoy our new CD from StowTown Records…Living In Harmony!”

Ashley DeRamus Of Ashley By Design Named Spokesperson For Adorn Fashion

DeRamus is the first person with Down syndrome to represent a major fashion line


Birmingham, Ala. (April 28,2015) Ashley DeRamus, founder of The Ashley DeRamus Foundation and Ashley by Design, is pleased to announce her new role as spokesperson for Adorn Fashion, based out of Atlanta. DeRamus continues to make strides in the fashion world, as she is the first person with Down syndrome to represent a major fashion line.

Adorn Fashion is a leading supplier at AmericasMart in Atlanta and known for its superior quality, elegance and sophisticated designs. In partnership with DeRamus, Adorn will manufacture new designs for Ashley by Design, and Adore Kids will launch a clothing line for children with Down syndrome.

"We are excited about partnering with Ashley and her wonderful foundation,” says Hema Pandaya, president of Adorn Fashion. "She is a talented designer with a keen eye for fashion, and we can’t wait to help her expand into children’s clothing.”

Founded by DeRamus and her mother, Connie DeRamus, Ashley by Design specializes in clothing specifically tailored for individuals with Down syndrome – a perfect fit that is hard to achieve off-the-rack. Clothing from the line will be showcased and sold at the Cash & Carry event at AmericasMart Atlanta from May 5 to 7. The showroom will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 7. The designs can also be purchased at www.ashleybydesign.com.

"We came up with the idea for a fashion line for girls with Down syndrome because it has been so hard to find clothes for Ashley over the years, making shopping more of a hassle than an enjoyable experience,” says Connie. "Those with Down syndrome tend to have different body types than most clothing lines are made for, and we wanted them to feel just as confident as anyone else. The partnership with Adorn and Adore Kids will help us expand clothing options to children with Down syndrome.”

Lindsey Graham Performs National Anthem For The Minnesota Twins

Estero, FL (April 28,2015) Gospel soloist Lindsey Graham had an interesting trip earning the opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the Minnesota Twins spring training game.


Ms Graham stated, "I auditioned at a public contest in the Miromar Outlets in Estero, Florida back in January to sing the National Anthem for the Minnesota Twins. They had a full day of auditions and selected only one person to sing the anthem at a spring training game at their Hammond Stadium in Ft. Myers, Florida. To my great surprise, I was the BIG WINNER!!”

Singing at the game between the Twins and the Baltimore Orioles on March 18th the fans were in awe as she magnificently performed on par with the best ever heard in on outdoor stadium, evidenced by the tremendous applause after she finished.

Lindsey also commented, "I am blown away to have had this opportunity. I heard many great singers audition and am humbled to have been chosen to sing the National Anthem. This is truly an honor I will cherish moving forward.”

The performance was captured on video by Tucker Media (www.Tucker.media) and can be viewed with the link below:

The Twins lost the game, but gained a fan in Lindsey Graham.
