StowTown Records' artist Beyond The Ashes is happy to share the news of the marriage of baritone singer, Casey Shepherd, to Lisa Di Virgilio. The couple married last month in a beautiful ceremony in New York where they first met and fell in love. And where did they meet? They met in New York. Casey saw Lisa, for the very first time there, on television where she was a TV reporter on the news! He went on to send her an email expressing how gorgeous she was. He never expected a reply but, low and behold, he got one. That reply led to a first date which went on to lead to a lifetime of love.

StowTown Records has released, today, the ten-song collection Old Soul by Wayne Haun. Drawing from renowned influences such as Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand and more, Haun takes the listener on a musical journey to a “time gone by."
For years, the multi-awarded Wayne Haun has been known throughout the music industry as the “go-to” producer for exquisite orchestrations. Working with a variety of accomplished artists - The Perrys, Jessica Simpson, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Celine Dion, Jason Crabb, Earl Scruggs and countless others – he is known as “the genius” and has enough awards and nominations to prove it. Now, Haun, let's the world in on another one of his many talents, as a top-notch "crooner."
Wayne Haun comments: “I listened to every genre of music when I was growing up. From Bluegrass to Gospel, Broadway to Jazz, all those influences shaped the musician I am today. When I was introduced to Broadway, Jazz and Big Band – all the amazing and lush instrumentation - I knew I wanted to write, to orchestrate, to create those sounds and I was determined to learn how!”

One of Christian music’s leading booking agencies, The Harper Agency, has announced the signing of popular quartet, The Old Paths (pictured in attached jpg). The announcement comes on the heels of the group’s recent Number One national hit, “God’s Great,” their second Number One national hit from their Right Now recording on Crossroads Music’s Sonlite Records label. The song peaked at Number One in the June issue of The Singing News Magazine. Sonlite Records President, Chris White is thrilled with the success of the group’s debut release on the Sonlite label. “When I first heard the Old Paths, I knew immediately that these guys were not just another quartet,” White says. ”It's a rarity these days to discover an artist who you believe possesses all the main ingredients to succeed quickly. Now with two Number One songs to their credit in less than a year, they have drawn the attention they deserve. I trust and believe that their talents will be relevant in our business, for years to come and, I'm glad the Harper Agency will be a part of this process.”
Based in Atlanta, GA, Old Paths is actually paving a new path into national prominence with numerous hit songs, as well as national award nominations. Most recently, the group received five nominations when the 2013 Singing News Fan Awards’ Top 5 nominations were announced, including New Traditional Quartet. The group also received seven nominations for the 2013 NQC Music Awards, including Favorite Male Group.
