TED WINN OF TED & SHERI DUO SIGNS WITH SHANACHIE ENTERTAINMENT
SOLO CD DEBUT “BALANCE” HITS STORES SEPTEMBER 29, 2009
With Cameos By Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Jonathan Nelson, DeWayne Woods and Myron Butler.
Ted Winn of the Stellar-winning Ted & Sheri duo is back on the gospel scene after a five-year recording hiatus. Over the last decade, Ted & Sheri were known for riveting gospel smashes such as “Come Ye Disconsolate” and “Celebrate.” Now, Winn has re-emerged with a new recording label, a new look and a new sound that is sure to thrill Ted & Sheri fans while attracting a new audience of music lovers.
Winn’s Teddys Jamz production company has inked a deal with Shanachie Entertainment – the recording home to artists as diverse as Leela James and the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir. “We are excited to sign Ted Winn,” says Shanachie general manager Randall Grass. “Coming on the heels of high-profile releases by Kim Burrell and Vicki Yohe, our release of Ted’s album will be an important step in Shanachie’s growth as a significant player in the gospel arena. Ted is not only a first-rate singer and songwriter but his unique style enables him to deliver a very special kind of inspirational performance that sets him apart.”
Winn’s trademark locks have always set him apart. He’s clipped them and sports a short coif that he says reflects his new personal and professional metamorphosis. He’s also expanded his musical palette with a mix of original praise and worship songs, deep gospel tunes and message songs such as the radio hit, “God Believes in You” that is currently #25 on the Billboard Hot Gospel songs chart. The set features cameos by gospel legend Vanessa Bell Armstrong, DeWayne Woods, Jonathan Nelson and Myron Butler. “I wanted to create a project that would inspire people to live a balanced life,” Winn says of the Balance CD. “A life that incorporates a blend of spiritual self, physical self and emotional self. By that I mean by incorporating God, family, work philanthropy, recreation and relaxation, we create a balanced life.”
