The Family Stone at California Center for the Arts, Escondido

I have always loved funk music, and was excited to see that The Family Stone was coming to Escondido! Just got my ticket today for an incredible discount through my shared workspace and wanted to see if other people would like to come as well?

I'm sitting in Orchestra B18. As of this writing (Wed 9/24 9p-ish) there are still seats close by.

Tickets are $15 + service charge for any section with code HERAHUB

About the band: The Family Stone keeps the music of Sly and the Family Stone alive on stages around the world. Formed in San Francisco (1966), Sly and the Family Stone made history as America’s first major multi-racial, multi-gender touring band. Their infectious blend of funk, soul, R&B, rock, and psychedelia propelled them to global fame. Fronted by the visionary Sly Stone, the band’s original lineup included his brother Freddie Stone (guitar), sister Rose Stone (keyboards), Jerry Martini (saxophone), Larry Graham (bass), Greg Errico (drums), and the late, great Cynthia Robinson (trumpet). Affectionately known as “Papa J,” Jerry Martini helped shape the band’s revolutionary sound. “Sly and I formed a lifelong bond when I nudged him into leading the band in 1965,” says Martini. “Our influence helped shift the landscape of popular music in ways that still resonate today.” Carrying the torch forward is powerhouse vocalist Phunne Stone—daughter of Cynthia Robinson and Sly Stone. Her electrifying performances honor her parents’ legacies while forging a bold path of her own. Sly is proud to witness her vocal prowess in performing his music on stage. Today, The Family Stone remains true to its original mission: to uplift and unite. Still multi-racial and multi-gender, the band continues to inspire audiences of all ages to STAND for peace, equality, and everyday people.
