Kingdom Records, recording home to the gold-selling Shekinah Glory Ministry, has announced the signing of the acclaimed Chicago-based sister act, The Brown Sisters, to a recording deal.

The quintet’s forthcoming CD, “The Brown Sisters Live in Chicago,” will be released on June 30. Their single “Awesome God” is now at Gospel radio stations.

“We are just ecstatic about being with such a company that is home to so many true worshippers,” group manager and member Vanessa Brown Dukes says of the group’s signing. “They are truly a God-send in our lives. They have integrity and we’re grateful that they’ve invited us into their family.”

Kingdom Records’ vice president, Bernie McLean, concurs:

“The Brown Sisters are one of the most talented groups I’ve ever witnessed,” he explains. “When the major artists come to Chicago like Karen Clark Sheard, they always ask for the Brown Sisters to accompany them. For some time now, people were always asking, `why don’t you sign the Brown Sisters?’ Well, now we have signed them and we expect great things from them and their ministry.”

The Brown Sisters have developed a sterling reputation in the Windy City for their riveting gospel stage performances that date back to the early 1990s. They’ve appeared on bills with such musical luminaries as Aretha Franklin, Bobby McFerrin and Mavis Staples, among others.
