Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, R&B Pioneer Award winner and original founding member of Sly & the Family Stone, Jerry Martini, along with Phunne Stone — the multi-talented daughter of Sly Stone and the late Cynthia Robinson — bring the music of the first mainstream major band in rock 'n' roll history: the chart-topping hits of Sly & the Family Stone.
These funksters are joined by the powerful voice of Swang Stewart on vocals, through musical harmony with some of the funkiest players of all time — Nate Wingfield on guitar, Jimmy McKinney on keys, Frank Klepacki on drums and Blaise Sison on bass — adding the proper pocket to the raw Family Stone sound. They present an explosive set of psychedelic funk classic hits from the '60s and '70s. The raw, unfiltered original sound became part of the essential building blocks of many — if not most — great modern artists' toolkits. Sampled and covered by major artists around the world, the influence of their music is immeasurable in the development of modern music.
