Echoing Angels recording for early 2011 release

Entertainment One Music continues to broaden its roster with new signing, Echoing Angels.

The five talented and southern-charmed boys that comprise Echoing Angels - Shannon Cochran, Jon "JP" Poole, Trey Heffinger, Neil Tankersley, and Josh LeBlanc - reside in Atlanta, Georgia, yet have been travelling across the US, peforming at several major summer festivals as well as calling Nashville their temporary home.

They've been in Music City these past few weeks recording with producer Calvin Turner (Marc Broussard, Jimmy Needham) for their self-titled sophomore project, set for release in February 2011.

"I've been so inspired by the band's heart and passion for ministry, and we are very excited to add Echoing Angels to our roster," states Bob Morrison, Entertainment One Music/eOne.

"Their musicianship and writing have always held to very high standards, and now the boys have taken it to new heights with their upcoming release."

Growing up and continuing to reside in the south easily embraces the distinctive sound of Echoing Angels - a fusion of southern rock, pop, and worship with influences from the likes of James Taylor to Kenny Loggins, from Train to Third Day. The band began their musical career with their 2006 debut project on INO Records, You Alone ("You Alone," "Coming Back to Life").

Trey Heffinger, lead vocalist for Echoing Angels, proclaims, "We are extremely excited and blessed about the new partnership with eOne.

"They truly understand our hearts for ministry and the music that we write. God has brought us together for a purpose and we look forward to a great relationship.

"With Bob's passion for God and ministry joining with our same passions we believe great things are on the horizon."

In the fall of 2009 Echoing Angels signed a management deal with Patton House Entertainment, led by industry veteran Andrew Patton.
