JOINT VENTURE WITH THE ORCHARD

New York, September 23, 2009, One Haven Music, today announced that they have signed Greg Nice, the hip-hop artist known best for his work in the east coast duo Nice & Smooth.  This follows the recent announcement of the joint venture between One Haven Music and The Orchard (NASDAQ: ORCD) a full service media company specializing in music and video entertainment.

“Let’s do it! I’m psyched to be here with One Haven and The Orchard, and I’m anxious to get some fresh sounds out in the club and party scene,” commented Greg Nice.  “I know this deal was brought to life to by One Haven and The Orchard to get a unique talent signed, and I’m stoked to be considered among this style,” he added.

The popular duo Nice & Smooth have sold over a million units and were best known for their funky hip-hop single “Funky for You”.  The pair is particularly recognizable because of Greg Nice’s wit and retro and contemporary groove that is evident throughout the music.  The influential duo parted ways in 1998, but Greg Nice as a solo artist will take advantage of the services available to artists signed to One Haven/The Orchard.

Promotion of Greg Nice’s upcoming release will be overseen by The Orchard and Lee Resnick’s South East Music, Inc., who will simultaneously support the artist in interactive marketing and branding initiatives for an early 2010 album release. The intention of campaign is to put Greg Nice back in the spotlight where he can engage and monetize audiences globally in new creative ways as a re-emerging artist.

CEO of One Haven Music, Michael Caplan commented, “The Artist is bigger than the song at One Haven Music.  Greg Nice is larger than life.  His music, while rooted in 90’s hip-hop, remains completely fresh and contemporary in its execution.  With Greg, content is King.  He is more relevant than ever.  Having him as our first artist is an act of G-d.”

New York, July 21, 2009, Today, The Orchard (NASDAQ: ORCD) announced that it has entered an extensive and exclusive arrangement with One Haven Music and its Chairman and CEO, industry veteran Michael Caplan, who brings his seasoned A&R experience and extensive network of artist and label relationships to The Orchard.

The Orchard will support One Haven projects as a turn-key, comprehensive entertainment solutions provider, with global sales and marketing; physical and digital distribution, business intelligence tools, solutions and support; synchronization licensing for film, television, and advertising; and in certain cases, co-investment capital.

Michael Caplan has been blazing new trails in the music business since 1983 when he began his career working for music industry exec Morris Levy.  After holding marketing and promotions jobs for various record stores and labels, Caplan moved to the A&R department at Epic Records, where he held court for twenty years during which time he signed and helped to break artists such as Living Colour, Keb’Mo’, Firehouse, Ginuwine, and G. Love; and forged new successes for established icons such as The Allman Brothers Band and Tower of Power, among others.

In 2003, Caplan left Sony Music to start Or Music, where he signed and broke hip hop artist Matisyahu and Grammy Award-winners Los Lonely Boys.   In 2006, Caplan returned to Sony/BMG as Senior Vice President, A&R at Columbia Records before serving as Executive Vice President, A&R at leading independent Razor & Tie (currently an Orchard client).

Michael Caplan commented, “One Haven Music will establish itself as a label home for vital and original artists that allow them to touch and feel their fan base as well as grow their craft to its full potential. We’re excited to be doing it at The Orchard, which was borne of the digital age… an organization that embraces change, rather than tries to stomp it out.”

As The Orchard/One Haven venture commences, Caplan, alongside One Haven President Jonathan Chang, will sign and provide A&R support to acts that will benefit from The Orchard’s widely recognized marketing and promotions strategies across physical and digital formats.

“Since the advent of digital, The Orchard has innovated at the service of independent artists and labels and been their aggressive advocate at the forefront of this exciting period of industry transformation.  Our mantra has always been to build and monetize the audience and with this new label, One Haven Music, we will continue to grow and build on that foundation.” said Brad Navin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of The Orchard.  “With this announcement, we pioneer an entirely new platform and product: Orchard as a turn-key solutions provider for those whose business is finding great talent and making great music.  Michael’s keen ear and commercial sensibilities and vast industry network plug into Orchard’s global capabilities for an entirely new artist model.  We look forward to proving out that it’s never been a better time to be an artist with talent, vision, and conviction.”
