{EHA-Nashville, TN} The popular Ohio based group, the Lore Family, signs this month with EHA-Nashville to incorporate a publicity campaign into their music ministry. The four members, Darren & Sandy, along wtih children Fayth and Samuel have been traveling and recording for over six years, spreading the Gospel in song. Darren and Sandy’s love and dedication to Southern Gospel Music started in their youth and they passed this heritage on to their children. The family talent is evident and clearly stated with four powerful voices, original songs, and harmony that is undeniably “family.” Darren’s original material and their fan base has been consistently building. Evie Hawkins notes, “I am so thrilled to be working for the Lore Family. I had the opportunity to get to meet with them at NQC last year and I was so impressed with their sound and with their spirit. I can’t wait to see what’s around the corner for them! Darren’s song, “Come On and Praise Him,” reached #44 on the Singing New top 80. Their latest release, “I Have Learned” goes to national radio in mid-August on SCM Volume 22 through radio promoter, Jim Robinette. The song refers to Phillipians 4:11 and is already becoming an encouragement to fans in the Lore Family’s concert program. More info: http://www.thelorefamilymusic.com/

Written by SGN Scoops Staff on November 5, 2011 – 11:02 am -
Nashville, TN November 4, 2011- Mansion Entertainment artist, The Mark Dubbeld Family, have reached an agreement with Catacomb Music which includes promotion & booking. “We are excited to be connected with Scott Lucas and Catacomb Music. His extensive experience in the areas of promotion and production of Christian music will help us continue to expand the ministry of our Family,” said Mark Dubbeld. “Scott’s commitment to integrity and ministry is a blessing. We look forward to this partnership.”
The Mark Dubbeld Family consists of husband and wife, Mark and Janene Dubbeld, and their 5 children; Vincent (20), Leighton (18), Elena (15), Channing (10) and Britton (7). Each of the Dubbeld children plays an active role in the ministry from singing, playing instruments and sometimes even contributing a new song.
Mark has sung Gospel Music since the age of 15. He has been singing full time for more than 28 years in churches, crusades, conferences and has performed the “National Anthem” at ESPN sporting events. Recently he was given opportunity to sing his signature song, “The Battle Hymn,” for Presidential Candidate Herman Cain and The Faith & Freedom Coalition. Janene Dubbeld writes songs, devotionals, books, stories and is also a gifted speaker. The song entitled, “Something Better in Mind,” written by Janene, was named one of the Top 40 songs of the year by the Gospel Music Association and was placed on the 2007 Dove Award ballot for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. In 2011, The Mark Dubbeld Family charted its 1st Top 40 song, “Nothing But Praise,” on national radio.
“I got to meet this family at NQC this year and loved their heart & vision for ministry. I am looking forward to working with this family to reach their fullest potential,” said Scott Lucas. The Mark Dubbeld Family joins www.song-of-david.com, www.drivenqt.com, www.dondegrate.com & www.coulterministries.org as the latest artist/group to join the Catacomb Music family.

Driven Quartet Reaches Agreement with Catacomb Music
Written by SGN Scoops Staff on October 24, 2011 – 12:29 pm -
Nashville, TN – Driven Quartet of Charlotte, NC have now reached an agreement with Catacomb Music.
“I feel that Catacomb Music is the perfect ministry partner and right now it is going to be what we as Driven need to push us in the right direction”, said Jason Funderburk. “I am excited about working with Scott and look forward to a long working relationship to take this ministry where God would have it!”
Gospel Music is in Jason’s blood. His father Danny Funderburk is one of the most recognizable voices in Southern Gospel Music. Danny has sung with such notable quartets as The Singing Americans, The Cathedrals and Perfect Heart. Jason is carrying on that tradition with Driven.
Collectively, this group of young men has been singing professionally for over 20 years. Their resumes include such groups as Danny Funderburk and Mercy’s Way, The Anchormen and Lumber River but in 2006 this group of young men through prayer, stepped out on faith and commenced their new full time career, heeding to the call on their lives to present the Gospel through music, these four gentlemen created Driven Ministries.
“This year Driven was blessed to be featured on the main stage at NQC & won 3 Diamond Awards” (Website, Country Gospel Group & Album of the Year) said Scott Lucas. “Catacomb Music is honored to add Driven Quartet to the Catacomb Music family, along with www.song-of-david.com & www.coulterministries.org ”
