ATLANTA, GA - December 8, 2022 - Gospel powerhouse Erica Campbell is set to deliver two stellar performances this week, both as a soloist and as part of Grammy Award-winning duo Mary Mary. On Thursday, December 8, Campbell joins sister Tina Campbell to support multi-instrumentalist, multi-award-winning songwriter and producer, Adam Blackstone, as Mary Mary, as part of Blackstone’s headlining debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The episode will air on NBC at 11:35 p.m. EST.

Blackstone, who has served as the musical director for megastars such as Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Janet Jackson, and Maroon 5, will be fronting his BBE Big Band for the first time, after 15 years of appearing on the NBC late-night talk show as a backing musician. In addition to Mary Mary, he will be supported by rising R&B songstress Inayah.

Erica Campbell is also set to make an appearance as a soloist, as part of Carnegie Hall’s “A Night Of Inspiration” on Saturday, December 10, 2022. The event promises to be an evening of uplifting music, dance and spoken word, which will see soloists and unique pairings of talent backed by a 64-piece orchestra and a 150-voice multicultural choir. Led by composer and music director Ray Chew, the performances will culminate in a tribute to gospel great Richard Smallwood.

Along with Campbell, the lineup includes Bishop Hezekiah Walker, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Gospel star Tye Tribbett, R&B powerhouses Anthony Hamilton and Regina Belle, and a number of faith-based performers from diverse traditions. The concert is produced by Ray Chew and co-producer Vivian Scott Chew. 

“A Night Of Inspiration” will be held on the Stern Auditorium’s Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall (881 7th Ave, New York, NY 10019). Doors open at 8:00 p.m. Tickets and additional details are available at www.carnegiehall.org.
