A Cappella Sensation Takes Their Harmonies On The Road This Summer With A Performance at 17th Annual Essence Music Festival
NEW YORK, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of their triumphant win of season two of the hit NBC a cappella competition series The Sing-Off, Committed is getting ready to release their self-titled debut album on August 30th on Epic Records. The sextet's debut album features a mix of hand-selected cover songs, including their tear-inducing rendition of Michael Jackson's "Hold My Hand" which helped seal their win on the season finale as well as several originals. Their first single "Break Free" is an uplifting anthem laced with the group's well-known inspirational lyrics, co-written by the group's own, Therry Thomas. Formed in Huntsville, Alabama in 2003, the group, comprised of Dennis "DJ" Baptiste, Tommy Gervais, Geston Pierre, Robert Pressley, Maurice Staple and Theron "Therry" Thomas, arrange all of their own music using only their vocals as instruments to emulate a full band sound.
