Get ready to dance to the music when an all-star lineup of Bay Area musicians celebrates the groundbreaking funk, soul, and psychedelic sounds of Sly & The Family Stone at HopMonk on Friday, September 4.
Thank You Sly Stone! started earlier this year as a pair of tribute shows at HopMonk and Moe’s Alley. The chemistry was so good — and the shows so much fun — that the musicians decided they had to do it again.
The powerhouse lineup features Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz, Ray White, Vicki Randle, Marcus Stephens, Mookie Siegel, Steve Adams, Brendan Liu, Ezra Lipp, and special addition Natalie Cressman of the Trey Anastasio Band on trombone and vocals.
Expect an infectious night of funk, rock, soul, big harmonies, deep grooves, and plenty of dancing, celebrating the music that made Sly Stone one of the most influential artists of his generation. If you love classics like “Everyday People,” “Dance to the Music,” “Family Affair,” and “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” this is one tribute show you won’t want to miss.
