DEE SNIDER'S NEW ALBUM DEE DOES BROADWAY OUT NOW TO RAVE REVIEWS

Deedoesbroadway.com

Launches

Snider Also Promotes First Autobiography

Shut Up And Give Me The Mic

Watch Dee Snider's Humorous New Video For "Mack The Knife" HERE

(New York, NY) - Dee Snider, the unmistakable front-man of the rock band Twisted Sister, has released his new studio album Dee Does Broadway(Razor & Tie) this week and has also just launched his album website Deedoesbroadway.com.The album features Dee's powerful voice and theatrical persona as he exudes his rock 'n' roll take on several Broadway classics. The new album coincides with the release of his first ever autobiography, Shut Up and Give Me TheMic (Gallery Books). Dee Does Broadway has been met with rave reviews:

"[Dee Does Broadway] melds the timeless melodies and passions of musical hits with the fire, intensity and energy of heavy metal. (Think Angela Lansbury meets Alice Cooper.)" Associated Press

"Dee Does Broadway finds the one-time frontman for Twisted Sister leaping into the Great White Way's songbook with both feet, albeit with his taste for metal intact with arrangementsthat recall theater-ready rock operaa...Bombastic"
Los Angeles Times

"Broadway like yo've never heard before. Snider has a knack for churning out metal versions of standard songs...Stellar"
Dallas Voice

Dee also appeared this week on a number of television shows: Fox and Friends, CNN's Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien (hosted for two hours), , Fox News- FOX 411, NBC New York Live, etc.Catch Dee this month as one of the cover of Revolver Magazine with The Black Veil Brides:

Dee Does Broadway

Dee Does Broadway features several special guest stars, including Broadway and television icon Bebe Neuwirth on the Damn Yankees song "Whatever Lola Wants," Broadway legend Patti LuPone on a West Side Story Medley "Tonight/Somewhere," pop icon Cyndi Lauper on Sweet Charity’s "Big Spender," Clay Aiken of American Idol on the Guys and Dolls classic "Luck Be a Lady Tonight," the stars of the Broadway hit musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert(Will Swenson, Tony Sheldon, and Nick Adams) on South Pacific's "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame," Mark Wood of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra playing violin on the Phantom of the Opera ballad "Music Of The Night," as well a special rendition of "The Joint Is Jumpin" from Ain't Misbehavin' with Dee's oldest son, Jesse Blaze Snider. Songs are also featured from classic Broadway shows including Cabaret, Chicago, The Threepenny Opera, Anything Goes, and Sweeney Todd. Dee Does Broadway was spawned from a number of voicemails exchanged featuring "Broadway Tunes" sung as messages between Dee Snider and Alice Cooper in 2009 and Dee's 2010 Broadway run in the Broadway rock musical Rock of Ages. Inspired to take this musical journey, the classically trained countertenor (who sang with his high school choirand always loud as hell) Snider enlisted producers Bob Kulick and Brett Chassen (whom Dee worked with on the metalized Frank Sinatra tribute called Sin-atra). The album was mixed by the legendary Ric Wake and Gustavo Celis, and features the incredible orchestrations and playing by the renowned composer/arranger Doug Katsaros and the bass guitar playing of one of rock's prolific players, the legendary Rudy Sarzo. The amazing guitar and drum work was all by co-producers Bob Kulick and Brett Chassen. Never straying from his rock roots, Dee Snider puts his own unique spin on musical favorites...It may not be metal...but it definitely rocks!

Shut Up And Give Me The Mic (Gallery Books)

Filled with entertaining anecdotes and candid confessions, Shut Up and Give Me the Mic takes you through the good times and bad with a heavy metal star who worked as hard as he played, and who did it all for his wife, four kids, and millions of fans. As lead singer and songwriter of Twisted Sister, Dee Snider became the poster boy for heavy metal, hair bands, and the wild side of rock. Now, in his twisted new memoir, he reveals the real stories behind the crazy makeup, the big hair, and badass hits like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." In his journey from every parent's worst teenage nightmare to Renaissance man, Dee avoided the usual pitfalls associated with rock stars. But that didn't stop Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center from targeting him-a fight that led him to testify before Congress with Frank Zappa. He may have been slapped with a Parental Advisory warning label, but, through it all, Snider stayed positive and focused on being the best he could be.

Dee Snider is best known as the lead vocalist and front man for legendary rock/metal band Twisted Sister. The band have released six studio albums, six live albums and their hugely successful 2006 holiday record, A Twisted Christmas (Razor & Tie). 1984's Stay Hungry produced the classic singles "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." Snider has also previously released one solo album, 2000's Don't Let the Bastards Wear You Down. Dee Snider has been a mainstay in pop culture, appearing as a commentator on several VH1 productions, as well as his own A&E reality show "Growing Up Twisted," ABC's "Celebrity Wife Swap," and was a contestant on the latest season of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice." Snider also starred as Dennis Dupree in a three month run in the Broadway hit "Rock Of Ages." Dee also has his own nationally syndicated radio show House Of Hair, which airs on more than 200 stations in North America.

R&B/Gospel Legend BeBe Winans Signs With Razor & Tie

America America, a Soulful New Collection of Patriotic Songs Celebrating the Heritage and History of Our Nation, Will Be Released on June 19th, 2012

Summer Tour With Dave Koz; New Book, The Whitney I Knew, Winans' Memories of Longtime Friend Whitney Houston, Due in Stores July 31, 2012

NEW YORK, NY -(Marketwire - May 7, 2012) - BeBe Winans, a critically acclaimed, inspirational R&B and gospel vocalist, best known as a member of the celebrated Winans family dynasty, has signed with Razor & Tie. BeBe Winans' new album, America America, which honors our nation's heritage, will be released by Razor & Tie on June 19th, 2012.

Cliff Chenfeld, co-owner Razor & Tie, comments, "BeBe Winans is one of our country's great singers and he has made a timely, necessary record that will speak to all Americans. It is a brave, powerful statement. We are very proud to be working with BeBe."

Winans is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer, including his Grammy for co-producing the song "Jesus Loves Me" on Whitney Houston's smash film soundtrack from 'The Bodyguard.' He has achieved wide notoriety both as a solo artist and as part of the hit-making duo BeBe & CeCe Winans (the first brother and sister duo to be awarded a prestigious Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame). He is also a noted actor who has appeared on the stage (in the Broadway production of 'Oprah Winfrey Presents The Color Purple') and screen (2003's 'The Manchurian Candidate'). As a solo artist, BeBe Winans has sold 1 million albums.

"I am very excited about this new partnership with Razor & Tie," Winans said. "They understand who I am as an artist and what I'm trying to achieve with America America. I appreciate their business model and look forward to working closely with them to bring this new record to the widest audience possible."

America America, Winans' seventh solo release, is comprised of nine classic songs including "America The Beautiful," "Lift Every Voice," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," all imbued with his soul-stirring touches. Winans also wrote three new songs for the album -- the beautifully hopeful title track and first single, "America America" (which will feature a touching companion video directed by David Warshauer [Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas]), the upbeat "We're The United States of America," and the poignant "Ultimate Sacrifice," dedicated to our troops.

"The inspiration for America America is the time we are living in," Winans explains. "Sometimes, we forget that we are all Americans. At sporting events, when the national anthem is sung, everyone stands -- black, white, rich, poor -- everyone."

Tour dates with Dave Koz beginning in June and continuing throughout the summer will be announced shortly. The pair worked together on the title track of Koz's 1999 release, The Dance. Winans is expected to perform songs from America America as well as highlights from his impressive career.

Winans' poignant memories of his dear friend and frequent musical collaborator Whitney Houston will be shared in his upcoming book, The Whitney I Knew (Worthy Publishing). The book will be in stores on July 31, 2012. No one can forget the emotional performance and moving eulogy Winans delivered during Houston's nationally televised funeral.

BeBe Winans is the latest addition to independent label Razor & Tie's expanding roster that includes artists from various genres. The New York City-based label is one of the fastest growing independent record companies in the United States, and has garnered both Platinum sales and Grammy awards in its 20-year history.
