Kool & the Gang are On The Road with Van Halen… Get Down On It!
The boys from Jersey are hitting the road with Van Halen this spring. Kool & the Gang, a jazz/funk/R&B/soul group founded in the 1960s, will open for Van Halen all across the country, bringing their classic sound and funky beat to audiences through spring and early summer. Founded in Jersey City, just across the Hudson from NYC, Kool & the Gang have sold over 70 million albums worldwide. More recently their music has found its way into tracks of a younger generation, with rappers like DJ Kool, Mase, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince sampling their songs. Tickets for their tour are on sale now.
