Legendary Funk Band The Family Stone Plays DCA

Legendary funk/soul band The Family Stone will put a fresh spin on their classic hits when they perform at Door Community Auditorium on July 5. The Family Stone centers around Jerry Martini, Cynthia Robinson, and Greg Errico, all Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, R&B Pioneer Award winners, and founding members of Sly and the Family Stone. True to their original raw funk groove, The Family Stone breathes new life into hit singles “Everyday People,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” and “I Wanna Take You Higher.”

Leading The Family Stone’s performance at DCA will be Jerry Martini, founder of Sly and the Family Stone, the first major interracial, multi-gender American band. Founded in 1967, Sly & the Family Stone has had a profound impact on music in the funk genre and beyond, influencing such musical greats as Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Decades after their formation, The Family Stone remains a potent force of music performance, proving that classic hits can feel even more alive after forty-five years than they did in the beginning.

Tickets range from $28 to $46.

The show begins at 8 pm, and advance reservations are recommended. For tickets, call 920.868.2728, visit dcauditorium.org, or stop by the DCA box office. The box office is located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek and is open 12 – 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
