Nearly five decades ago, the disco scene was taken by storm by KC and The Sunshine Band, which incorporated funk into its ‘70s sound. This 14-piece boogie band formed in 1973 in Hialeah, FL and has had its music featured in the Super Bowl, World Series, Conference Championships, The NBA, Collegiate Bowl Games National Championship Games, the NASCAR racing circuit and championships, The World Cup, The Indianapolis 500, The Kentucky Derby and every major holiday parade across the nation. Its goal? Get everyone out on the dance floor. As the group celebrates its 50th anniversary as a game-changing band that defined a culture, it will play hit classics such as “Boogie Shoes” and “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Get Down Tonight” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty.”
