Briefly: Ryan Adams, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Bonnaroo, Chali 2na
Singer/songwriter Ryan Adams has nailed down the details for his forthcoming album, "Easy Tiger," and has posted online a cut from the new set.
Titled "Two," the new track is streaming at Adams' MySpace page. The page also features the cover art for the album, which is due out June 26.
Adams will soon unveil plans for a June/July US tour, according to his publicist.
Brother-and-sister gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans , who reunited on stage during last night's (5/23) "American Idol" finale, plan to mark their 25th anniversary with the fall release of their first new album in 13 years, and will back the set with a tour, according to a press release.
"I'm so grateful of Bebe & Cece's past accomplishments," Benjamin "BeBe" Winans said in a prepared statement. "But I'm so excited about coming back together and blazing new trails of hope into the hearts of people all around the world."
"I'm very excited that the time has finally come for BeBe and I to reunite and encourage the world with uplifting, soul-changing music," Priscilla "CeCe" Winans added.
Details about the new album and tour will be revealed in the "coming months," according to a spokesperson.
Ornette Coleman has signed on to appear at next month's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The Grammy- and Pulitzer-award winning saxophonist/composer will perform in the festival's just-added "Somethin' Else" jazz-club tent, according to a press release.
As previously reported, this year's Bonnaroo festival takes place June 14-17 in Manchester, TN, and features headliners The Police, Tool, Widespread Panic and The White Stripes.
With Jurassic 5 now defunct, rapper Chali 2na is gearing up to release his first solo album, according to a newly published interview he recently conducted with AllHipHop.com.
The work-in-progress album, titled "Fish Out of Water," is expected to surface by the end of the year, and will feature guest appearances from Raphael Saadiq, Beanie Man, Rakaa from Dilated Peoples and Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am.
