Rose Stone, a founding and definitive member of Sly and the Family Stone, returns to the stage with a commanding voice, spiritual depth, and the same electrifying authenticity that made her an essential force in one of the most influential bands of all time. As the original female voice behind era-defining hits including “Everyday People,” “I Want to Take You Higher,” and “Family Affair,” Rose helped shape not only the sound of a generation but also the soul of the movement that came with it.

This performance is a fully immersive concert experience featuring world class musicians whose artistry is rooted in both mastery and lived cultural history. Audiences will hear iconic classics along with original music that draws from gospel, soul, and deeply resonant funk traditions. Rose shares spirited reflections and personal insights throughout the show, offering a rare and intimate perspective on the music that helped ignite global change.

The 1st Family of Funk also features significant members of the Stone musical lineage. Vet Stone, the celebrated vocalist of Little Sister and an original member of Sly and the Family Stone, brings her powerful voice and magnetic presence to the stage. Lisa Stone, daughter of Rose Stone and acclaimed vocalist with international touring experience including performances with Elton John, completes the vocal powerhouse of the group.

This ensemble carries an important chapter of music history into the present moment. In the mid 2000s, members of this group performed behind Sly Stone himself, extending the legacy of the original band and keeping its spirit alive for new audiences around the world. Their performances were celebrated for their extraordinary musicianship, vocal excellence, and heartfelt devotion to the cultural and musical revolution that shaped funk, soul, and popular music.

Rose Stone is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Her voice remains a beacon of truth, joy, resilience, and spiritual conviction. The 1st Family of Funk continues this tradition with a performance that is both a celebration and a living history.
