NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – January 25, 2011) – R&B and Gospel
icons Bebe & Cece Winans and Mary Mary have jointly announced a
series of upcoming major market US tour dates this April, 2011. The duos
re-unite following their spectacular holiday performance on The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, where Bebe, Cece, Erica and Tina dazzled the studio
and TV audiences with a festive holiday medley, showcasing a collective
talent unmatched throughout the world. That superstar ‘quartet’ will
also be performing songs together on this tour in addition to their
respective hits and fan favorites.

After two decades of hits, Bebe & Cece Winans are
enjoying a remarkable career moment. Their first album together in 15
years — Still — is nominated for two Grammy Awards and is
fast approaching Gold, while landing on several Billboard Magazine
year-end lists. This weekend, Bebe & Cece won a combined five
Stellar Awards out of 11 nominations, including Song of the Year for the
CD’s single, “Close To You,” a Billboard chart topping
single. Additionally, “Close To You” was named BMI’s Most Performed
Gospel Song of the Year. Written by Bebe Winans and published by Music
of Everhits, the song also earned the 2010 Dove Award for Urban Recorded
Song of the Year. Bebe & Cece Winans celebrated the honor with a
blazing performance of “Close to You.” In the past year alone, Bebe
& Cece have performed on Oprah, Good Morning America and The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno. Upcoming this October, 2011, the brother/sister duo
will receive their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Columbia Records/Myblock Records artists Mary Mary, the gorgeous duo — sisters Erica and Tina — will release their new CD, Something Big, the long-awaited follow-up to The Sound, their multi-million selling, multi-award winning, groundbreaking previous CD. Something Big is slated for a March 29^th, 2011 release. Produced by Warryn Campbell for Myblock Records and written by Mary Mary, anticipation for Something Big
is shared by fans, label insiders and industry alike. In less than a
decade, Erica and Tina have sold upward of five million albums and have
amassed staggering totals of three Grammy Awards, two American Music
Awards, seven Dove Awards, a BET Award, two NAACP Image Awards, two Lady
of Soul Awards, and ten Stellar Awards.

With powerful voices that soar, harmonies that chime and
lyrics that touch the heart and soul, the songs on Something Big are
instantly memorable. In a recent Billboard Magazine review of new single
“I’m Walking,” R&B reporter Gail Mitchell noted, “The song’s
synthesizer-accented, percolating rhythms are immediately arresting, and
the mix is seamlessly strung together by the engaging vocal
interplay…’Walking’ is the pair’s latest track to leave the listener
with a bounce in his or her step.” A Top 10 Urban AC and top 6 Gospel
smash, “I’m Walking” has just landed on the pop charts within days of
its release to that format
