History
Double E History
Double E Promotions, headquartered in Booneville, MS, was founded in 1980 by brothers, Perry and Maynard Edge. The brothers worked for several years, primarily in radio promotions, servicing their clients and aiding their songs as they climbed the country music charts.
After deciding to pursue other business interests, Maynard transferred his part of Double E to Perrys wife, Vikki. Although Maynard relinquished his ownership role, he continues to be very supportive of the family business, attending most special events.
In 2007, after meeting Country Gospel Great, Allen Frizzell, younger brother to Legendary Country Music Stars, Lefty and David Frizzell, Perry and Vikki made the decision to transfer their promotional expertise from Country to the Country Gospel genre. This change would prove to be a successful one. As the first Country Gospel Artist to be signed to Double E, Allen Frizzell would see four singles record in several gospel music charts with three climbing to No.1 on national Christian music charts. With a name like Frizzell and the excellent marketing skills of the Double E Radio Promotions Department, the skys the limit for this team.
In May of 2009, Double E released Compilation Disc #151, with featured artists Marty Haggard, Jimmy Fortune, Gerald Smith, Oliviajade Frizzell, Kurt Labouve, Eddie Gordon, and Allen Frizzell to radio stations. All seven songs on the compilation would place in the top ten on national charts.
We have a lot of exciting things going on at Double E Promotions. I receive calls just about everyday from artists, musicians, and songwriters who are in need of promotional services. Our staff at Double E Promotions is ready and available to assist performers in getting their songs to several radio stations throughout the United States. We work four different national music charts and our radio promotions department will do everything possible to get our clients songs played to the very max. It doesnt matter if a client is famous or unknown, we will do everything we can to promote their music. We have a Graphics and Design Department, a Radio Promotions Department, and a Public Relations Department. We are more than qualified and ready to give you professional, promotional coverage. ~ Perry Edge, President of Double E Promotions
