KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT
SANTA YNEZ, CA – March 10, 2025 – American disco and funk group KC and The Sunshine Band bring their “Doin’ It” World Tour, to the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 28, 2025. Tickets for the show are $59, $74, $79, $84 and $89.
Well-known for chart-topping hits such as "Get Down Tonight," "That's the Way (I Like It)," and "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," KC and The Sunshine Band has sold over 100 million records worldwide and continue to entertain audiences across the U.S.
Formed in 1973 by Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and Richard Finch, the band’s early singles “Blow Your Whistle” (1973) and “Sound Your Funky Horn” (1974) caught the attention of Henry Stone from KT Records, who requested a follow-up single and album. During this time, the song “Rock Your Baby” (with vocalist George McCrae and guitarist Jerome Smith) reached No. 1 in 51 countries, right before their single “Queen of Clubs” (also with McCrae) peaked at No. 7 in the United Kingdom. This early chain of events ultimately led to their first tour in 1975, and helped establish the band’s presence in the disco scene.
The group’s self-titled second album, “KC and The Sunshine Band,” was released in 1975, and brought hit singles like “Get Down Tonight” and “That’s the Way (I Like It),” which both went triple platinum and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dominating the mid-to-late 1970’s, the band introduced more iconic disco anthems like “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty” in 1976, “I’m Your Boogie Man” in 1977, and “Please Don’t Go” in 1979. The accomplished group received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus in 1976, and later won a Grammy for Album of the Year for the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack in 1978. They also won the American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Single for “Get Down Tonight” in 1976.
KC and The Sunshine Band are the first act to score four No. 1 pop singles in one 12-month period since the Beatles. Currently featuring 14 members, the band continues their legacy and remains a staple in the disco era.
