Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have come a long way since their humble beginnings nearly a decade ago. Steeped within the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul and funk, this nine-piece Brooklyn collective has continued to electrify fans, disc jockeys, critics, record collectors, and bloggers the world-over with their authentic, heart-felt sound. Their three critically-acclaimed albums -Dap Dippin' (2002),Naturally (2005) and100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) -- recall an analog era led by iconic studios like those at Motown, and have thrust the Augusta, GA native and her crew into the multimedia limelight. Opening will be The Daptones.
