The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, that started as a vocal trio consisting of brothers O’Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.
Save the date on Thursday, December 19 (7:30 p.m.) now as these legends, celebrating 60 years since the group’s first gold single “Shout,” return to the Bay area for one show onstage at Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater in St. Pete.

What other group can claim that they’ve been covered by The Beatles, acted as a proving ground for Jimi Hendrix, been at the forefront of 1970s funk and served as a major touchstone for hip-hop heavyweights like The Notorious B.I.G. and Ice Cube?
