BrownStone is back
and the new songs
are astounding.

The unique three-part harmony of Brownstone has reunited. Original members Nichole “Nicci” Gilbert and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell have brought in Racquel Roberts and the flavorful R&B vocal group BrownStone is reborn.

In the early 90’s three singers were at an audition when the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson casually walks into their session. Almost like a dream, after only a few bars of an original song “A Capella” he proclaims their harmonies “heartfelt and extraordinary” and signs them to his own MJJ record label. That chance encounter unleashed a series of critically acclaimed platinum albums, top ten singles, a Billboard Music Award for Hot R&B singles play and a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance – Duo or Group for their song “If You Love Me”. With stage credits on Broadway (HairSpray), international performing artist Racquel Roberts has joined the group to round out their sound.

Rehearsals for upcoming performances have begun and I was lucky enough to sit in on their session last night and let me tell you, they blew me away. The girls are working on new songs that are so strong, I think more hit singles are coming your way.

CNN local edition was in the studio interviewing the girls and shooting footage of them while they rehearsed in the auditorium for their entertainment series. When I get the show date I’ll pass it along.

All the best
