Provident Distribution today announced a distribution partnership with Nashville-based Pinnacle Entertainment for products released in the United States and Canada.

Founder and ceo, Marc Harris, known industry-wide for his work with talents such as BeBe & CeCe Winans, Amy Grant and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, brought Pinnacle to life in 2003 to "serve creative forces by transforming their inspirational intellectual properties into diverse content for consumption."

"We are pleased to welcome Pinnacle Entertainment to the Provident Distribution family," states Don Noes, sr vp of Provident Distribution. "We have the privilege of working with some of the highest caliber people in the industry, and Marc Harris is no exception. We know he will bring his creative expertise to the business side of the label and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with both Marc and Pinnacle."

The first two titles from Pinnacle, scheduled to street early next year, include the debut release from singer/songwriter Kim Rutherford, From the Inside Out, and Pinnacle Project - Volume 2, featuring Michael McDonald, BeBe and Marvin Winans, Tommy Simms and many more.

"As Pinnacle continues creating and fulfilling consumers' demand for more cutting-edge gospel/Christian music, Provident offers Pinnacle's product line the necessary placement and reach within both the CBA and general retail marketplaces," says Harris.

More information about Pinnacle and its upcoming projects will follow in the coming weeks.
