Crossroads Signs Beene Family

Crossroads has signed the Beene Family to its roster of artists.  Notable about this is that the Beenes are one of the groups that curtailed their touring schedule somewhat due to gas prices earlier in the year, as they have focused primarily on the west coast and more regional touring near their home.

Here is the press release:

The Beene Family, from KingsportTennessee, recently signed a multi-year recording and distribution agreement with Crossroads Entertainment & Marketing. The group, consisting of brothers Landon, Brandon and Shandon, along with Brando’s wife Chrysta, have spent the last ten years establishing themselves in Southern Gospel music. With a national touring schedule that includes around 175 dates per year, the family group has focused their performances on church venues. Many of those performances have included dates on the west coast where the family was born and raised. Pianist and group manager Landon Beene states, “We are thrilled to be working with such a prestigious company as Crossroads.  They have long been one of the industry’s leaders in their ability to grow artists as well as see a vision of the future of this industry.  They are blessed with great leadership and staff. Our desire is to complement the integrity of the company by presenting our ministry in a first class way.” Crossroads executive Chris White states, “One of the reasons we wanted to establish a relationship with the Beene family is because they have a solid approach to their business, as well as their music. We also applaud them for being Southern Gospel ambassadors to the west coast and keeping our music alive and well there.  They are simply first class people who have a lot to offer.”

The Beene family is currently in the process of finishing their new project with Crossroads slotted to release January 20th, 2009.  Be looking for the new release at retail stores and at www.crossroadsmusic.com.
