SAN FRANCISCO, April 28
/PRNewswire/ — INgrooves, a leading provider of digital distribution,
marketing and promotion services to the independent music community,
has expanded its roster of top independent labels further with the
additions of Telarc and Heads Up International, divisions of Concord
Music Group, for territories outside of North America. The announcement was made today by Robb McDaniels, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of INgrooves, and Mark Wexler, Senior Vice-President at Concord Music Group.

“Telarc and Heads Up have amassed an impressive slew of Grammy
awards and are well regarded as two of the leading independent
classical and jazz labels,” stated McDaniels. “We are very excited to
both broaden the labels’ reach to their core audience, as well as
expand their presence among digital music fans.”
