The guidelines and application are available at www.pennpat.org.

PennPAT accepts applications from Pennsylvania artists who wish to be included in the Artist Roster every year. This year applications were due June 1, 2011.

GRAMMY® NOMINATED DUO AND AGGRESSIVE SOUL SIREN PAY HOMAGE TO LABELLE

HELEN BRUNER & TERRY JONES AND CHINAHBLAC REMAKE THE LABELLE CLASSIC

"WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU"

(Philadelphia, PA) August 9, 2011, Grammy® Nominated duo Helen Bruner & Terry Jones and Aggressive Soul Siren ChinahBlac have come together to remake the Labelle classic What Can I Do For You to be released on September 13, 2011 on the Philerzy Productions label.

Bruner, Jones, and Blac wanted to pay homage to the iconic Labelle and chose What Can I Do For You because it was a fan favorite and the lyrical content is so timely for what is going on in the world today. "On one of our late night calls I came up with the idea of the three of us recording the song and Helen & Terry said okay come on lets do it, said Chinah. When Ms. Sarah Dash of Labelle found out the ladies covered the Labelle classic she tweeted Helen & Terry "I know you Owned It. Looking forward to hearing it. Call me when you have the listening party." "We were so honored when we received that tweet from the legendary Sarah Dash" said Terry.

The ladies keep the continuity of the original song while adding their own style. " We wanted to stay close to the 1974 original and just update the textures and sounds to 2011, said Helen. The ladies wanted to get as close to the Labelle sound sonically so they called on recording engineer Craig White who recorded & mixed songs for the 2008 Labelle reunion album Back To Now, to help assist in mixing the remake. What Can I Do For You is produced by Bruner & Jones while all three ladies share vocal production credits.

Bruner, Jones and Blac will tour together to support the release of What Can I Do For You and their current individual projects Helen Bruner & Terry Jones cd Hollyhood and ChinahBlac's cd Introducing Eugenia Shata . On July 30, 2011 the ladies gave a surprise performance at the 6th Annual Lincoln Park Music Festival in Newark, NJ to a crowd ten thousand plus who continued to scream for more. On September 13, 2011 Philerzy Productions along with co-sponsors DJ Qua from 98.7 Kiss Fm and Let's Get Em' Entertainment will present the What Can I Do For You release party at the Key Club in downtown Newark, NJ. Bruner, Jones and Blac will take to the stage to perform and DJ Qua will serve as the host for the evening . Get ready for Helen Bruner & Terry Jones and ChinahBlac remake of the Labelle classic What Can I Do For You!
