"The Orchard is the best company for digital distribution, period. Amidst all of the changes In music distribution, The Orchard is the perfect answer for labels, artists, and fans alike. They're always on top of the new digital music stores before anyone else."
- Chuck D, Public Enemy, SLAMjamz (the 21st Century Record Label)

"We consider The Orchard team our friends as well as colleagues. They have successfully introduced Acrobat Music to the world of digital music. As an independent record company, it is important that we work with an operation we can trust."
- John Cooper, Acrobat Music

Document Records "For an independent label to try and digitally distribute over 800 titles (approx. 22,000 tracks) to archival blues and folk fans around the world is no light task. Linking with The Orchard has been such a logical move. And the move could not be smoother."
- Gary Atkinson, Document Records

French Kiss Records "We were new to the digital game. The Orchard took the time to meet with us and explain everything. They seemed enthusiastic about supporting the artists on Frenchkiss. They really got behind us and got our music out there."
- Syd Butler, Frenchkiss Records

Bob McGrath "When The Orchard told me that my 'Rubber Duckie' ringtone was their #2 most-downloaded ringtone in June, I was floored! Even if Ernie gave me his very own rubber duckie, I couldn't be more pleased. They cut the ringtone, placed it, promoted it, and it became an immediate success. Thanks, Orchard!"
- Bob McGrath, Sesame Street

Henry Stone "With The Orchard, we are making records available that were out of print for years - important records from legendary performers like Ray Charles and Sam & Dave. Digital stores are great for indie labels like mine, and for the people who like the music we made. Rather than make deals with each individual digital store, The Orchard puts the whole digital world right there for our catalogue and the people who love it."
- Henry Stone, Producer, Promoter, Label Owner; The Legendary Henry Stone Presents
