Al Paris formerly of Kool & The Gang
Al Paris is best known as a former member of Kool & The Gang, delivering tight background harmonies and smooth, synchronized dance moves on stages worldwide. But his experience in the entertainment industry is far more than one-faceted. The career of this modern-day renaissance man has encompassed not only singing, but songwriting, acting and even becoming an author with his new book, Life Wasn’t Aways Kool. It’s an inspirational memoir. Throughout his career, Al has been fortunate to have been exposed to and worked with myriad musical talent. Many of whom are great Rock & Roll Hall of Famers. Of the many highlights during Al’s career, one of his most memorable was playing before, then president, Bill Clinton and leaders of the other largest global economies at the 23rd G8 summit in Denver, Colorado. Today, Al continues to excite his fans around the world. And according to them, every performance is, “The best ever!”
SIXWIRE
Not only have the members of SIXWIRE played on countless hit records and toured with legends like Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John, they've been the “go-to“ guys for television, having served as house band on USA Network’s Nashville Star, Fox's Next Great American Band, CMT’s Next Superstar and ABC’s dramatic series Nashville. They’ve performed at Super Bowls 51, 54, and 56; The Daytona 500; the NHL All-Star Game and they were ESPN’s first-ever house band for the 2019 NFL Draft.
Charitable entertainment events that SIXWIRE has been involved in have raised nearly $30 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. SIXWIRE has also helped raise funds for Scott Hamilton’s Cancer Research Foundation, Convoy Of Hope, American Cancer Society and many others.
