For 58 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music.

Bump City, their 1972 debut album for the Warner Bros. label, was a hit on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B Albums chart and netted them the hits You’re Still A Young Man and Down to The Nightclub. The 70s were a boom period with radio classics like So Very Hard to Go and What Is Hip?, and the band continued to tour and record over the years.

Tower’s window-rattling grooves and raucous party spirit have been a balm for the soul throughout their half-century existence, but the release of 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

The band has traveled the world, enjoying hit singles on their own and backing legendary artists including Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, the Grateful Dead, John Lee Hooker, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others. In the process, they’ve defined an “Oakland soul” sound that's instantly recognizable.

The future of Tower of Power is set out to be vigorous and dynamic, and will prove to be just that for fans around the world starved for the band’s groove just the way Tower of Power likes it!
