For over 30 years, the Gap Band was one of America's premier purveyors of funky stuff. With their irresistible hooks, rubbery basslines, and unstoppable grooves, such hits as "Burn Rubber On Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," "Outstanding," and "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" all became reliable dance-floor fillers for any DJ who knew the score. An exhilarating live act featuring the three sons of Gap Band founder Ronnie Wilson, the Gap Band Review proudly carries on that funky legacy.

The Gap Band has always been a family affair. Ronnie and his own brothers Charlie and Robert grew up playing together in their father's Pentecostal church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The young musicians attracted the attention of another Tulsa artist: singer and pianist Leon Russell, who used them as his backing band on 1974's ‘Stop All That Jazz.' That same year, the Wilsons released ‘Magician's Holiday,' their first album as the Gap Band. (The Wilsons' original choice of name was the G.A.P. Street Band, a tribute to three streets in their Tulsa neighborhood.) By the release of their 1979 R&B smash "I Don't Believe You Wanna Get Up and Dance (Oops!)" – also known as "Oops Up Side Your Head" – the Gap funk formula had been perfected. Powered by the combination of Charlie's sly and supple vocals, Robert's propulsive basslines, and Ronnie's horn and keyboard riffs, a series of singles and albums made them one of American R&B's preeminent acts. Through the ‘70s and ‘80s, the Gap Band scored 15 Top Ten singles on Billboard's R&B singles chart, two gold albums, and three platinum albums.

Having grown up within the Gap Band fold, Ronnie's sons Andre, Brian, and Casey knew these songs through and through, so it was only natural for them to become part of the story. Along with establishing their own solo careers – in which they've worked with such artists as Kurupt, Raphael Saadiq, and Snoop Dogg – the three brothers helped write, perform, and produce the Gap Band's final studio album, 1999's ‘Funkin' Till 2000 Comz.' They now lead their own ensemble of singers and musicians in a wildly energetic yet impeccably polished tribute to the music of their father and uncles.
