Active from 1966 to 1974, the original Sly & The Family Stone pioneered an influential sound that blended funk, pop, rock, soul, R&B, and what would later become hip-hop. The group charted three top-10 albums and five top-10 singles (“Dance to the Music,” “I Want to Take You Higher,” “Everyday People,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “Family Affair”.)
The current lineup of The Family Stone features Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Martini (saxophone), vocalist Phunne Stone (daughter of Sly Stone and co-founder Cynthia Robinson), guitarist Nate Wingfield(B.B. King, Buddy Guy), vocalist Swang Stewart (Ne-Yo, The Roots), bassist Blaise Sison (Toto, Cameo), and drummer Frank Klepaacki (Asia, Home Cookin’). The group recreates the music of pop’s first interracial, chart-topping band with a message of peace, love and social consciousness.
