CLG Is Relocating To Nashville

In a strategic move to build upon current momentum taking place with the company, Chrematizo Label Group / CLG Distribution will be relocating from Minneapolis, MN to the Nashville, TN area November 1, 2008.

CLG's Distribution Division is currently dealing with the first U.S. solo release from Hillsong United's Brooke Fraser. The album, entitled "Albertine", is steadily climbing the Soundscan Adult Contemporary chart. The first single, "Shadowfeet", has seen notable success at Christian radio with both the CHR format (currently at #6) and the AC format (currently at #18). In addition, CLG Distribution has just inked a deal with Blood & Ink Records, home of hard rock bands Burden Of A Day, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Saints Never Surrender, The Blue Letter, All In and many more.

Moving the company to Nashville will provide access to a great pool of talent in relation to both artists/labels and networking opportunities.

Brooke Fraser Forced To Back Out Of The Hotel Cafe Tour

After an intensive touring and radio campaign in support of "Albertine", Brooke Fraser has come down with pneumonia. As a result, she has been forced to back out of the Hotel Cafe tour in order to concentrate on her health and recovery. The 13 city tour begins tomorrow (October 9th) and continues throughout the month of October. The tour (which features artists such as Rachael Yamagata, Ingrid Michaelson, Meiko, Priscilla Ann and many more) will continue as planned without Brooke.

Future tour dates will be reported when they become available.
