For 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music. During their half-century existence, the band has defined the “Oakland soul” sound as instantly recognizable. 

“East Bay Grease” solidified 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.   

Today, the band continues to record and tour their own music while backing legendary artists including Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, the Grateful Dead, John Lee Hooker, Aerosmith, Bonnie Riatt, and countless others.
