Grammy–winning group brings funk concert to The Event Center
in July
PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–KC and The Sunshine Band, known for their multi-platinum hits like “Get
Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It)” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake)
Shake Your Booty,” brings their unique pop-funk sound to The Event
Center at Rivers Casino on Friday, July 12, at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on
sale and start at $45.
Delivering feel-good music since 1973, the “sunshine sound” that
originated from the lead singer’s Florida roots earned KC and The
Sunshine Band four No. 1 records and multiple Grammy, Lifetime
Achievement and American Music awards. KC and The Sunshine Band has
toured nonstop for over 40 years, performing their timeless music all
over the world.
Since the release of their first hit single, “Blow Your Whistle,” which
landed a spot in the top 15 on the R&B charts, the group has become an
international sensation with over 10 studio albums; their music has been
featured in over 200 movies and commercials and has sold more than 100
million records worldwide. With two triple-platinum albums featuring a
string of hits like “Boogie Shoes,” “Rock Your Baby” and “I’m Your
Boogie Man,” KC and The Sunshine Band continues to keep the disco era
alive with timeless classics that span generations.
“I grew up listening to KC and The Sunshine Band’s music,” said Rivers
Casino General Manager Bill Keena. “The group’s iconic hits and
all-encompassing sound appeals to a wide-ranging audience, which will
make for a remarkable night in The Event Center.”
On April 26, the group released its latest feel-good party anthem, “Give
Me Some More (Aye Yai Yai).” With five Billboard-charting tracks over
the past four years, “Give Me Some More (Aye Yai Yai)” is poised to keep
the band’s funky momentum for career-long fans and those who may be just
discovering the sound that shaped the 1970s and still resonates in music
today. Having decades of experience in the music industry, KC and The
Sunshine Band fuses R&B, pop and funk with a hint of Latin groove to
create a one-of-a-kind music genre.
