Nashville, TN (November 18, 2011) ---- CCM artist, Laura Kaczor, continues to garner strong support from Christian radio as her latest single Yours Forever was one of the top Most Added on Billboard’s Soft AC/Inspirational chart for three consecutive weeks. Kaczor has been connecting with key radio stations and programmers across the country and recently visited with KYCC in Stockton, CA. She recorded an interview with the station’s Music Director and Morning Show Host, Theresa Schaad. You can hear Kaczor’s interview here, http://www.creativepromotions.net/newmusicnow/phocadownload/Laura_Kaczor_KYCC_Interview/KYCC_Int.mp3. Kaczor’s previous single Alive In You peaked at #17 on Billboard’s Soft AC/Inspirational chart.

Besides being a Top 20 recording artist, Kaczor is an inspirational speaker and worship leader who has started her own LifeThirst ministry for teens and Lift Up U-niversity for teen girls, and both ministries are currently being booked across the country. During Kaczor’s California trip she ministered at three key events on the west coast, as the worship leader at a women’s conference in Concord, CA and as the guest speaker and worship leader at two teen events in Brentwood, CA. At both events Kaczor was met with standing ovations as her ministry touched those in attendance. The week before the California trip, Kaczor ministered at two secular high schools in the Decatur, AL area to give the churched and unchurched messages of hope and inspiration, which led to fourteen students giving their lives to Christ.

Nashville, TN (September 6, 2011) ---- CCM artist Laura Kaczor, who just recently enjoyed her first #17 hit song on Billboard's Soft AC chart with Alive In You that stayed on the chart for eleven weeks, is poised to release her next single to radio, Yours Forever. The song will go for adds at radio on September 9th and the tune was co-written by Kaczor, Chad Cates and Don Koch, who also produced Kaczor's new album, Love Enough. The project has led to Kaczor becoming known for her strong vocals and prolific songwriting.

"When I hear Laura's voice, the following adjectives come to mind: light, effortless, compelling, and passionate," says Chuck Heuberg, Music Director, KCFB/St. Cloud, MN. "Her lyrics are based on God's Word, and that is foremost to us at THE WORD when choosing music to minister to our listeners. Laura's music does that and so much more."

"Yours Forever is a great follow-up to Laura's Top 20 Billboard hit, Alive In You," says Wendell Gafford, Owner, Creative Promotions. "It highlights the wonderful variety of the music found on Laura's latest project, Love Enough. It's also the first single released to radio that focuses on her passion for praise and worship. This single should continue to solidify Laura's impact on the Soft AC/Inspirational format and strengthen her growing relationship with key programmers across the country."

Yours Forever is a modern rendition of Psalm 100, according to Kaczor. "It's a call to worship and a reminder that we are His people 'the sheep of his pasture' forever. And it reminds us that the only reason we can enter into His presence is because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' He paved the way and ultimately our response has to be one of complete surrender, embracing the new identity that He has given us in Christ, his people, forever!"

While radio and fans are embracing Kaczor's music, media has also shown strong support for the new singer/songwriter. Kaczor has done interviews with NewReleaseTuesday.com, Control Track, Baptist Standard and WATC-TV, along with receiving great reviews for Love Enough.

NewReleaseTuesday.com - Laura Kaczor's first nationally distributed release, Love Enough, is a high-patina nugget that showcases the multi-talented (author, speaker,) singer/song-writer/musician's unmistakable talent.

CW's Place - With her latest release, 'Love Enough,' Laura Kaczor continues to show that she has a real heart for serving the Lord, along with the talents necessary to put it to music.

National Debut CD Released on LifeThirst Records/Indie Extreme Universal Christian Music Group/Fontana Is Distributing

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE --  LifeThirst Records/Indie Extreme recording artist, Laura Kaczor (pronounced kuh-ZOR), will be showcasing her national debut release, Love Enough, on Monday, January 17 at The Listening Room, 209 10th Avenue South, Suite 200, Nashville, Tennessee.  Appearing with a full band, the showcase will begin at 6:00pm.  Admission is free.  Kaczor’s project, a 10-song outing produced by six-time Gospel Music Association Dove Award-winner, Don Koch, is distributed by Universal Music Christian Group/ Fontana Distribution.  The CD first released digitally in March of this year and physical product hit stores shelves on September 14, 2010.

Love Enough is a mixture of Adult Contemporary/Soft AC melodies with inspiring lyrics bathed in Kaczor’s beautiful Sarah McLachlin-esque vocals.  Kaczor co-penned nine of the ten songs on the release with hit tunesmiths Don Koch, Brian White, Carl Cartee and Chad Cates.  To hear tracks from the project, please visit www.LauraKaczor.com
Momentum for Kaczor has been building since late fall with radio airplay as the driving agent.  “Invisible,” her second radio release from Love Enough, is closing the year with regular rotation on nearly 100 radio stations or networks (both reporters and non-reporters) across the country.  For the week ending December 3, the single earned the #1 spot for Christian Music Weekly’s (CMW) “On the Verge” and #3 on Billboard’s  “New & Active” listings for Christian Soft AC/Inspiration.  With charts frozen until after January 1, “Invisible” is sitting just outside the Top 20 on Billboard and Top 25 for CMW.

A Pennsylvania native turned Nashville resident, Kaczor is an accomplished recording artist, songwriter, worship leader and speaker with extensive performance credentials in both ensembles as well as a solo artist.  A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Kaczor served as worship leader for Penn’s Campus Crusade for Christ and as a soloist in “Full Measure,” the university’s Christian a capella group.  This led to a seven year role as worship leader in “Jesus Fest,” a quarterly northeast-region festival in that drew more than 1,000 youth and young adults from over 150 churches.

CMW #1 “On the Verge” and Billboard #3 “New & Active” Help Set Stage for 2011 Events, TV, Social Networks and Radio to Be Focus for the New Year

NASHVILLE, TN -- 2010 may be ending, but it merely marks the beginning of the burgeoning career of LifeThirst/Indie Extreme recording artist, Laura Kaczor.  Momentum for Kaczor has been building since late fall with the release of her national debut CD, Love Enough.  The results led to November and December seeing a surge in radio airplay and steep increases in event bookings, television activity and social networking.  Along with continuing the effective radio promotion, initial marketing plans for 2011 will focus on television appearances, social network marketing, and concerts and conference events. Universal Music Christian Group/Fontana Distribution distributes Kaczor’s debut, a 10-song project produced by six-time Gospel Music Association Dove Award-winner, Don Koch.  The CD first released digitally in March and physical product hit stores shelves on September 14, 2010.

Radio has been the driving agent for the Pennsylvania native’s increased visibility. “Invisible,” her second radio release from Love Enough, is closing the year with regular rotation on nearly 100 radio stations or networks (both reporters and non-reporters) across the country. For the week ending December 3, the single earned the #1 spot for CMW’s “On the Verge” and #3 on Billboard’s “New & Active” listings. With charts frozen until after January 1, “Invisible” is sitting just outside the Top 20 on Billboard and Top 25 for CMW.

“This has been an exciting fall run with Laura and the ‘Invisible’ single,” says Wendell Gafford of Creative Promotions, the promotions agency for the single. “We’ve been able to share both Laura’s music and her heart and both are resonating with programmers. As crowded as play lists are at every station, I think the success we’re seeing with Laura is directly attributable to her authenticity and transparency. The new year looks very bright for her.”

Kaczor supported her radio airplay with a series of interviews, events and television appearances. In addition to myriad in-studio and telephone interviews with radio stations, she appeared in concert and at conferences nearly a dozen times during fourth quarter. Appearances were coordinated to leverage potential in-studio and/or retail drop-ins. While in Atlanta in mid-November, Kaczor made stops at radio and at “Atlanta Live,” taping six songs and an interview for the two-hour daily show airing across metro-Atlanta as well as available via satellite.

The first weekend in November saw Kaczor holding a CD release concert and in-store appearance in her hometown area of Souderton, PA. The weekend promotion included interviews, giveaways, an in-store autograph appearance at Berean Christian Store, and a full concert at Pennridge Full Gospel Tabernacle in Perkasie, PA. The entire weekend was supported by radio stations WORD-FM and WBYN. No less than five area newspapers ran feature stories on the “hometown girl comes home” angle.

Fourth quarter web promotions comprised multi-week video placements on HearItFirst.com, a feature spot in MyCCM.com and three large e-mail marketing initiatives with iTickets.com, along with on-going Facebook posts and website updates. Currently, a “Buy One Get One Free” Christmas special is in effective on www.laurakaczor.com . The year is ending with a two-week Facebook ad campaign, linking to Kaczor’s Facebook “Fan Page.” The results from all of these efforts this year are strong digital sales and gross impressions in the multiple hundreds of thousands.

Entering 2011, the record label is focusing on continued radio growth, pushing for Top 10 status or higher early in the first quarter. Facebook advertising, blogging and a new emphasis on Twitter – including informative posts and contests – is expected to dominate the label’s social networking efforts. Supporting these endeavors is an active push for more national Christian television appearances for the telegenic Kaczor. All the while, both solo concerts and LifeThirst worship, evangelism conferences and/or Lift-Up U-niversity girls conferences (both of which she founded) dot the performance landscape for the artist. During her girls conferences, Kaczor addresses the timely issues of self-esteem, God’s definition of beauty, emotional healing and purity. More information on these events can be found at www.LauraKaczor.com .

Radio Airplay, Television Appearances, Internet Marketing and Events Raise Visibility of National Debut CD

NASHVILLE, TN --All debut artists face a daunting challenge to be seen and heard in an ever-increasingly noisy marketplace.

To support these efforts, the label has featured the CD for several weeks on HearItFirst.com, MyCCM.com, and others. It rounded out these promotions with direct email marketing, including eblasts and free song downloads, with iTickets.com, the most recent being November 7. The results from these efforts have been strong digital sales and gross impressions in the multiple tens of thousands.
