NASHVILLE, TENN. (DECEMBER 13, 2018) Provident Distribution celebrates the longstanding partnership with Cedarmont Kids as they re-sign their distribution deal.

“Cedarmont’s mission is to provide families with quality Christian music for their children,” states Mike Gay, Cedarmont Kids co-founder. “One of our early slogans was,‘The Best Songs Never Go Out of Style’ and the longevity of these products proves that to be true. As we add to our line of children’s products, we’re committed to continuing this ‘Music With a Message They Can’t Outgrow!’ The Provident family has a proven record of supporting us in that goal”

Cedarmont products have generated nearly 120 million dollars of retail sales in their storied history. As their only distribution partner in their successful 24 years, Provident Distribution is looking forward to the continued relationship with the No. 2 kids audio label behind Disney.
