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.
