Mount http://crossroadsmusic.com/blog/?p=2099 At Crossroads, we’re committed to utilizing all of today’s technology to take the Greatest Story Ever Told to more people and places than ever before. We’re also geared to making things better and easier for those we serve! With that in mind, we’ve built the exclusive Crossroads Video Vault, and today we’re giving you the key!

The Crossroads Video Vault offers footage from existing live DVDs and exclusive, professionally recorded live concert footage. We’re launching the vault with two Southern Gospel and two Bluegrass titles.

The Crossroads Video Vault will initially include live versions of NQC Live Vol. 9 (2009) and Vol. 10 (2010). For the last decade, Crossroads and the National Quartet Convention have partnered to offer videos of highlights from live performances by Southern Gospel’s most popular groups. Individual songs or the complete performances can be purchased as view-only streams or downloadable files. This is the first time in the history of the series that web-based delivery is available.

The National Quartet Convention is the largest and most prestigious annual event in Southern Gospel. It was launched in 1957 by J.D. Sumner, James Blackwood, and Cecil Blackwood, in Memphis, Tennessee. Hosted in Louisville since 1993, it remains, in the words of founder J.D. Sumner, “the Granddaddy of them all.”

The Crossroads Video Vault will also initially include two live Bluegrass concerts, featuring Balsam Range and Darin & Brooke Aldridge. Both were recorded at the Winter Concert Series at the Colonial Theater on January 15, 2011, before a sell-out audience. These live concert videos are recorded direct to hard drive with three cameras and live switching. To preserve the live feel of the performances, the concerts are captured in their entirety and delivered unedited. The footage from each performance is a Crossroads Video Vault exclusive, available today for online streaming and download, here.

Balsam Range is a five-man Bluegrass supergroup from Haywood County, North Carolina. They bring a vibrant energy and diverse influences to offer a fresh Bluegrass sound in their chart-topping studio albums and engaging live concerts.

Darin and Brooke Aldridge, the Sweethearts of Bluegrass Music, front a six-piece band that is quickly rising to the top of Bluegrass music. They hail from Cherryville, North Carolina.

Future concerts in this series are expected to feature The Harris Brothers and The Boxcars.

With the launch of the Crossroads Video Vault, Crossroads is using cutting-edge innovative technology to make it easier than ever before to access your favorite music, and bring the venue to you.

So call some friends, pop some corn, and open the Crossroads Video Vault!
