The Cupps Reach Publicity and Promotions Agreement with Choice Promotions

Written by SGN Scoops on June 12, 2012 – 5:21 am -

Nashville, TN – Eric Melton announces today that The Cupps of Williamsburg, Kentucky have a signed a Radio Promotions and Publicity agreement with Melton’s company: Choice Promotions and Management.

Melton states ” It has been wonderful recently getting reacquainted with The Cupps.  One thing I appreciate about Troy and Barbara and their family is they are genuine people.  In 1996 while the promoter at Zion Music we released a single called “He’ll Be Calling Us Home”.  Not too frequently do you find an artist that is in demand within 3 weeks after their first national release, however as soon as their single had been mailed and we had not even began contacting the stations about the progress of the single, the phone was ringing constantly of churches wanting to get in touch with them for bookings.  I know that God has had their anointing on them all of these years and they continue to bless many lives with their ministry”.
In addition to their travels, The Cupps pastor the New Life Tabernacle in Jellico TN and are currently working on their next recording “Somebody’s Gonna Stand” with their long time award winning producer Kevin McManus.  The first single from the new CD will be released on Choice Promotions Radio Sampler Vol #2 this summer.  You can find more information in the coming weeks by emailing Choice Promotions at choicepromotionsandmgmt@gmail.com or by going to www.thecupps.org

Nashville, TN-   Homeland Entertainment Group is pleased to announce some exciting changes on the horizon for our family of labels, President and CEO Bob Jones announced today. “After much thought and prayer, we feel like with a constant changing society, our focus should maneuver more away from the term entertainment and convey more of a ministry concentration through our label group as well as the product that we produce. That is why we are announcing effective September 1st, 2011 Homeland Entertainment Group is changing its name to Homeland Inspiration Group.   We are confident that God is leading this name and focus change.  As we enter into new dimensions of the Christian Music Marketplace our desire is to spread this message more than ever as the coming of our Lord draws nearer.” Vice President and General Manager of Homeland Scott Godsey echoes that statement but additionally says “ I am persuaded to believe that with this change will come new windows of opportunity and heightened excitement levels for our company and roster of artists.  God has allowed us to align ourselves with artists that possess the same initiative and vision of what God is leading us into together.  As time progresses we know that still amazing things will occur.” Also the announcement comes today that Homeland Entertainment will be relocating offices in the immediate future.  Our former offices located at 266 East Main Street in Gallatin, TN will relocate very close to the new location at 2105 Cages Bend Road in Gallatin.  This office building currently is home to Laverne Tripp Ministries and Family Room Studios.  Homeland Entertainment will be sharing the offices with the current ministry building and all future recordings from the label will be produced at Family Room Studios.  Homeland’s telephone number and other pertinent information will remain the same.  More details will be announced as time progresses.  You may visit www.homelandentertainmentgroup.com or check us out on Facebook for further information.  Homeland will also be changing the website to reflect the new name changes as well.  That announcement and new web address will be announced at a later date.
