• CRYSTAL LEWIS PLANS BRAND NEW ALBUM

  Grammy Nominated Dove Winner Partners With Fans Through Kickstarter

  

  Kalispell, MT (June 19, 2013) Veteran Christian Music Artist, Crystal Lewis, is entering the next season of her music. She has launched her campaign via Kickstarter in an effort to raise $40,000.00 to fund both an English and Spanish version of the album.  Kickstarter is a popular crowd-funding platform for creative projects.

  “It’s been 26 years since the release of my first solo album. That is a long time to do the same thing but I believe that God loves taking us to new heights. He is giving us glimpses of His grace from new angles and using us in new ways we never would have dreamt. While technology has changed substantially in the last 26 years, I believe that God’s message of love, hope and grace remains the same. And while the music industry…indeed the music itself has changed, my love of it continues.” says Crystal Lewis.

  “I believe that God is taking me into yet another new season and I so want to invite you to come along,” she continues, “It’s time for some new music and new reflections on timeless truths…new songs that will stir your soul and heal your heart.”

  This project is only possible if at least $40,000.00 is pledged by Monday, July 1, 2:00am EDT. Pledges result in rewards such as digital downloads and autographed CD copies. Higher end pledges result in rewards that include an acoustic concert in your home or full band concert in your church or venue. You can visit Crystal’s Kickstarter page and pledge today by going to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crystallewis/brand-new-album-from-crystal-lewis.

• LESLIE WOODS SIGNS WITH INOV8 MUSIC GROUP

  

  Roanoke, VA (March 6, 2013)  Christian Pop Artist, Leslie Woods, has signed a four-album record deal with INOV8 Music Group.  “There is no other artist in this world that deserves this opportunity any more than Leslie Woods” said Jeff McLaughlin, Woods’ manager. “She has overcome insurmountable challenges in her life that would cause any young girl to crawl into a hole and give up on her dreams and it is so great to see her finally reaching the level of success that she has always deserved.” One of Woods’ biggest challenges was at the age of 14 when she was diagnosed with epilepsy. However, when you see and hear her sing, it is evident that through Christ, she has risen above her challenges and is now seeing her dreams come to fruition.

  INOV8 plans to release Leslie’s first music video to YouTube by the end of March for her new song, “Clueless”, followed by a CD/DVD combo release. There are also plans to release a radio single in May followed by a summer tour to promote Leslie’s new CD and music video.

• SCARLET FADE TO FRONT FOR CALIFORNIA SURF INC. FEATURING FORMER RECORDING AND TOURING MEMBERS OF THE BEACH BOYS

  

  Dublin, GA (February 25, 2013)  Only a few weeks after seeing their latest single ("Revolution") hit the #6 spot on Billboard's Christian Rock chart, the all sibling band Scarlet Fade, is in for another treat. After a recent series of shows throughout South FL., Scarlet Fade has been asked to come open for California Surf Incorporated  featuring former recording and touring members of The Beach Boys band on Feb 27th at The Chateau Elan Conference Center in Sebring, FL.

  "We are incredibly excited to be able to open up for a band performing such iconic music." says Ali. "I have a Beach Boys vinyl...the harmonies in those songs have always inspired me." adds Jaimee.
  

  Traditionally known as a rock/pop band, many may not know that these siblings have a penchant for doing unique vocal arrangements of different pop songs and hymns with 4 part harmonies and completely a cappella. This distinctive nuance has landed them various opportunities prior to this including singing at The Faith & Freedom event to kick of The Republican National Convention in Tampa FL. last year.

• SCARLET FADE MOVES FROM BASEMENT TO BILLBOARD

  

  Dublin, GA (January 21, 2013)  Out of a basement in CT, the all-sibling band Scarlet Fade, emerged. For 11 years and counting, Ali, Jordan, Jaimee and Jake have worked enthusiastically at crafting their skills of writing and performing. With powerful harmonies and an undeniable on-stage passion, the band has won the hearts of audiences up and down the East Coast and beyond.

  Influenced by bands such as Switchfoot, Flyleaf and Paramore, Scarlet Fade has become increasingly prolific in songwriting. The band showed great drive and determination early on by independently releasing 3 original projects. "The Faithful and The Bruised", their first full-length album, was released in 2008. The following year saw 3 Christmas songs released digitally through iTunes. In 2011 they offered up a 5 song ep entitled "Fix the Pieces", which showed the most growth and garnered much praise and attention from fans to peers and even that of radio.

  In 2012, Scarlet Fade joined forces with LLG Music Group and released their strongest project to date. The new project "Revolution", though only 5 months old has already set some incredible mile stones for the band. In fact, after only 3 weeks on radio, Scarlet Fade's remix of the song "Fix the Pieces", mixed by Tony Palacios (Love Like Gravity, Decyfer Down, By the Tree, High Flight Society) sky-rocketed to #15 on Billboard's Christian Rock Chart. Their second single, the title song "Revolution" has already spent 3 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 on Billboard. As of January 16th, "Revolution" is back enjoying that #7 spot for a second time.

  Some other accomplishments include being #1 Weekly fan favorite on Christian Rock Top 20 as well as breaking into airplay on radio stations in the UK and Canada. As the band continues to write and perform, they remain true to their goal which is to bring hope and inspiration to youth as well as people of all ages.
