(Washington, D.C.) -With the merging and closure of gospel labels, it's harder and
harder for the aspiring artist to get signed to a major label. Many artists are
choosing to take the "independent" road, but run into potential challenges with
marketing and distribution. Edmondson Communications, Inc. (ECI), on the cutting
edge of the gospel music industry, was created with the independent artist in mind.
In addition to marketing, manufacturing and distribution, the company provides
promotions, production and public relation services. Already representing five
labels - Meridian Music Group, Dmaesto Productions, Abundant Harvest Entertainment,
Wee Three Music, Rich Id Records and ETL Records - ECI has already found success
with many of its artists including the Billboard charting of popular mega-church
pastor Bishop David G. Evans with his CD, Healed Without Scars.

Based near Philadelphia and started in 1999, Edmondson Communications, Inc. provides
a virtual smorgasbord of services tailored for the independent artist. ECI offers
music production as well as manufacturing and distribution. With a vast
distribution network, the company can position product into virtually every record
store in America including some of the largest retail chains. Also, the company
offers radio, television and video production. From the basic radio interview to
the full production music video, ECI sources and manages all the technical as well
as creative talent that is required. The company also provides Internet marketing
and radio promotion using their contacts of over 800 radio stations giving clients
weekly tracking reports.

Marketing and public relations are also part of the services that Edmondson
Communications, Inc. supplies. As of January 1, 2007, ECI added public relations to
its services offering press releases, press kits, media campaigns and promotion of
church events, gospel concerts and conferences. As one of the few - if not the only
- full-service company for the independent gospel artist - Edmondson Communications,
Inc. takes the indie artist and gives them all the tools needed to compete with the
majors.

Al Edmondson, CEO of Edmondson Communications, Inc., started the company with
decades of recording industry experience. A former record label executive,
Edmondson was responsible for guiding the careers of artists such as Quincy Jones,
Gino Vannelli, Brothers Johnson, Jeffrey Osborne, LTD, Larry Graham, Atlantic Starr,
Herb Alpert, Chuck Mangione and dozens of others. Since that time, he's cut his
teeth in the gospel music industry working with artists like Rev. James Cleveland,
Wilmington Chester Mass Choir, and Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Choir.

Edmondson says, "We all know this is a money-driven industry. Here at Edmondson
Communications we give the independent artist the resources to compete. We know
there are a lot of great artists out there who don't necessarily have the budgets
that the majors do. But we take what an artist has and specifically plan a budget
for them." He adds, "Having been in the industry for years now, I've seen artists
get burned by companies who don't deliver what they promise. Edmondson
Communications is a company founded upon integrity; we deliver the goods. What it
all comes down to is we're working for the Kingdom."

ECI is joining forces with Philadelphia's Mann Center for their summer concert
series. On Saturday, August 4th, award winning gospel favorites CeCe Winans and
Donald Lawrence will take to the stage at 8PM. On Saturday, September 22, praise
and worship icons Martha Munizzi and Israel & New Breed will perform at 8PM. For
