Waterlogg Productions Signs Exclusive Partnership with Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Feb. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Blackstone Audio, Inc., is looking forward to its partnership with Waterlogg Productions and to providing its award-winning audiobooks to a wider audience.

Waterlogg Productions is a multi-media entertainment company founded by husband-and-wife team Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg whose output includes works that harken to the golden age of radio but with comedy in the forefront. Their work has been called “classic, yet marvelously fresh…original and vintage radio comedy and more” (BlueStone Press). Audiobook-Heaven.com called the duo “extremely talented voice artists…[with] a fine flair for drama, satire, and comedy.”

Blackstone’s Sales Manager Anne Fonteneau said, “We are very excited to be working with the multi-talented Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg. Their quality audiobooks can entertain the entire family and will complement Blackstone’s fast-growing catalog of audio offerings.”

"Lorie and I are thrilled to be working with Blackstone, the grandfather of all audio book companies, to bring our audio to new audiences," said Waterlogg Productions owner Joe Bevilacqua.

It was announced last week that the veteran award-winning audio producer, writer, director and actor was chosen to be among those to receive a 2013 "Kean University Distinguished Alumni Award".

Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg are married and have been working together since they met in 1996.

Under the agreement, Blackstone will manufacture, market, promote, advertise, distribute and sell the Waterlogg Catalog through the various channels, including Audible, Amazon, other online vendors, retail stores, libraries, CD, MP3-CD, and any new formats developed.

Waterlogg Productions has created 44 audio titles in many genres, including autobiography, biography, documentary, history,  interview, classic literature, fiction, radio drama, and comedy, with an additional 30 new titles planned for 2013. (Blackstone distribution is set to begin June 2013.)
