*CREATIVE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. SIGNS ON TO PROMOTE DAVE TREZAK AND THE VILLAGE OF MANY TRIBES [PR Newswire,628 words]
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Raven Moon Music, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of International Resorts and Entertainment Group, Inc.
(BB: IRAE) announced today that Frank J. Russo, President of
Creative Entertainment, Inc., Providence, Rhode Island, has signed a long-term agreement with the company to promote Dave Trezak and The Village of Many Tribes' "Save The Land" CD.
Frank J. Russo, a record, merchandising and concert promoter, best known for promoting the Rolling Stones concerts, the Michael Jackson Victory Tour, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Whitney Houston, etc., will be representing promotional efforts for the new Dave Trezak and The Village of Many Tribes' CD to radio stations and major record distributors. In addition, Russo is in the process of negotiating with talent agencies for concerts and will be handling licensing and merchandising for the project. Russo represented the licensing and merchandising of jewelry for The New Kids on the Block to all mass merchants in the United States.
The project was conceived, developed and produced by Emmy Award-winning producers Joey and Bernadette DiFrancesco, who signed Dave Trezak and The Village of Many Tribes to a long-term production, music publishing and management contract. DiFrancesco states, "We are ecstatic to have Russo's 30 years of experience as part of our team."
DiFrancesco, the CEO of Raven Moon, which is owned by International Resorts and Entertainment Group (a public company), stated that record business annual sales have increased from $8 billion annually to $43 billion as reported by RIAA. According to reports in industry publications such as BillBoard and USA Today, the recording artist Yanni has grossed $37 million dollars for 92 concert dates in 1998. The pie continues to grow for successful recording artists and Raven Moon Music is interested in a piece of that pie.
Production begins on September 4 and 5 to produce the "Save The Land" music video, which will be part of the commercial package to secure a record distributor for the CD and will be available to MTV, VH-1 and over 2,000 other cable systems that play music videos worldwide.
As stated earlier, Raven Moon Music anticipates that sales from the Dave Trezak and The Village of Many Tribes project, which includes a fifty percent interest in a Native American Cultural Center and Entertainment Complex (which may include gaming), could generate $100 million dollars for the company in the next 10 years.
