**About WAR:**
WAR, one of music’s defining and most enduring soul/funk groups, 
was founded in Long Beach, California. In 1969, producer Jerry Goldstein united 
the seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon; the alliance produced
the No. 1 worldwide hit “Spill the Wine.”

Stepping out on their own in 1971, they launched a fruitful career with a dynamic
sound that fused R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz, and blues. In 1973, their smash album
_The World is a Ghetto_ vaulted to No. 1 on Billboard’s pop and R&B charts behind
the crossover success of two top-10 singles, the album’s socially conscious title
song and its rollicking follow-up “The Cisco Kid.”

Over a long and glittering career, WAR has rung up more than 20 multi-platinum, 
platinum and gold albums and singles to include the previously mentioned songs as
well as smash hits “Low Rider,” “Why Can’t We be Friends,” “All Day Music,” and 
many more.

This year, fronted by co-founding member Lonnie Jordan, the group celebrates 50 
years of their 1975 multi-platinum album, _Why Can’t We Be Friends_, with a 50-date
tour, new releases and more. 

**About Tower of Power:**
For 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in
funk and soul music. _East Bay Grease _defined their sound and landed them with 
Warner Brothers. _Bump City, _their 1972 debut for the 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.

The band has traveled the world, enjoyed hit singles on their own and backed 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 as instantly recognizable
as those from Detroit, as well as inspirations like Memphis and Philadelphia. 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! 

**About Poncho Sanchez:**
GRAMMY-winning bandleader, conguero, and percussionist
Poncho Sanchez is among the most influential percussionists in jazz.  For more than
four decades, he’s stirred up a fiery stew of straight ahead jazz, gritty soul music,
and infectious melodies and rhythms from a variety of Latin American and South American
sources.

Throughout his career, Sanchez has held aloft the torch lit by such innovators as
Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente and Cal Tjader, embraced by each of those icons and
entrusted to carry forward the traditions of Latin Jazz. 

**About DJ Muggs:**
Beyond Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs has worked with artists like Ice
Cube, GZA, MF DOOM, Westside Gunn, Yelawolf, and more, continually evolving his 
style while staying true to his underground roots. His contributions have cemented
him as one of the most influential producers in hip hop.
