FIGHT THE POWER AND OTHER LOVE SONGS
Celebrating the Isley Bros.Joel Harrison and a cast of New York City's most esteemed R&B musicians will perform music off of the iconic Isley Bros. record from 1975, THE HEAT IS ON, 50 years after its release. Along with the music off this intensely funky, soulful album the band will perform several groove-heavy pieces from that same era.The Isley Bros. have been a pioneering force in soul and funk music for over 60 years. Their string of #1 hits over the decades is close to unparalleled. Fight The Power is an anthem well-suited for today's times. This show will not be a recreation of the past rather it will be a salvo for the present moment, rooted in one of the greatest records of all time. Be ready to boogie..Members of this band have performed with a Who's Who of greats, including Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Al Green, Hugh Masakela, Harry Belafonte, John Scofield, and Paul McCartney.
