The Family Stone - Do Yo Dance

We'd like to introduce you to The Family Stone & their latest hit, "Do Yo Dance" on Good Stewart Records.

What a great honor it is for us to be able to work with this award winning, chart topping, historic, Funky group. I've been working their music since the good ole days of Sly & The Family Stone. I met Sly & some of his group back in the 80's as they performed at 2001 of Charlotte, where I was the head DJ & AV director. Below is a short guide to The Family Stone's itinerary for the 2nd half of 2015. For those of you who are too YOUNG to know about this group, make a major effort to check out this song, connect with them below on their website & social networks. They are one FUNKY group with decades of hits that will have any crowd dancing to their beat.

Fans went crazy at Glastonbury, the world’s biggest music festival, as they listened to The Family Stone perform some of their greatest hit songs including “I Want to Take You Higher,” “Everyday People,” “Dance to The Music,” and “Family Affair.” Then they climbed aboard the Mothership with George Clinton, joining him on one of his hits “One Nation Under A Groove,” a magic moment described as “unprecedented” by Frane’s website Funk U. The show ended with Clinton and the Family Stone performing together, one of Sly’s most famous songs “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).”

Media praise for The Family Stone’s funky two hours at Glastonbury came from THE TELEGRAPH’S Bernadette McNulty who wrote “The Family Stone…sound fantastic.” NME praised the group for “getting the crowd dancing to hits including ‘Everyday People’ and ‘Dance To The Music’.” A fan tweeted, “The old dudes are dishing up a masterclass!“

The Family Stone also appear at European festivals: The Glasgow Jazz Festival, Worthing Pier, and France’s renown Jazz å Vienne. Then the group jets to LAX for Independence Day celebrations: July 3 at Spotlight 29 in Coachella, and the 4th in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  
Next they are Headlining the annual Hippiefest Tour from July 9 in Tucson, AZ through October 4 in Waukegan, IL.  Other acts on the Hippiefest 2015 are: Rick Derringer, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, and Badfinger with Joey Molland. Some dates will include Felix Cavaliere’s New Rascals, the Lovin’ Spoonful, and Rare Earth’s Peter Rivera.

Sly and the Family Stone are recognized as rock & rolls first inter-racial band, including both male and female instrumentalists, and as pioneers of musical artists’ bringing attention to topical and social issues in the 1960s when segregation filled the United States with angst, violence, and headlines.  As one of the biggest bands in America in the late ‘60s through the ‘mid-‘70s, they appeared at the 1969 Woodstock Festival performing between Credence Clearwater Revival and Janis Joplin.  

The group was inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2007 and became R&B Pioneer Award Winners in 2001.

Along with founding members; saxophonist Jerry Martini, drummer Greg Errico, and trumpet player Cynthia Robinson, the group features singer Phunne (pronounced “Fun”), daughter of Cynthia and Sly Stone (founder of Sly and The Family Stone), keyboardist Alex Davis, guitarist Nate Wingfield and bassist/musical director Blaise Sison.
