Johnson City, TN - Popular musical family, The Hoppers just returned from their first West Coast Tour in over a decade exclaiming that Gospel Music is alive and well on the “left coast,” as the states bordering the Pacific Coast have become affectionately labeled. The Still Shoutin’ 2010 West Coast Tour enjoyed sold out events in five of the six cities promoted by IMC Concerts. IMC Concerts representative Landon Beene, a California native, who relocated to the Johnson City, TN, area a few years ago was thrilled and overwhelmed by the response The Hoppers received. ““My goal is to see Gospel music grow everywhere possible; however, the West Coast is my first love,” Beene commented. “I grew up on the West Coast, listening and attending The Hoppers’ concerts. I was honored to take this great family into the markets that we have been working to develop for the last several years, and I was overwhelmed with the results. Who says that gospel music cannot have SOLD OUT concerts on the west coast?” Certainly not Beene, nor The Hopppers. “We are thrilled by the response of capacity crowds on the West Coast, as well as the success of each concert,” Dean Hopper of The Hoppers stated. “IMC Concerts’ fresh and innovative methods of promoting will take Southern Gospel Music to the next level of excellence for both the artist and the audience. Landon Beene and the whole IMC team will be a company that will present results for our future, and they were a pleasure to work with!”
