The Gap Band, a renowned funk and soul ensemble founded by the infamous Wilson brothers are
celebrated for their contributions to the music scene with timeless hits including “Outstanding”
and “You Dropped a Bomb on Me.”
The journey to stardom began in 1979 with the release of their debut album “The Gap Band” which
climbed to the #10 position on the R&B Albums chart with the help of their first hit single entitled
“Shake.” The combination of the Wilson brothers and their talented band members created a powerful
musical force. The Gap Band’s dynamic performances, marked by their rich vocal harmonies and
energetic instrumentation, have solidified their legacy in the realm of funk and soul music.
Principle members Billy Young (Keyboards), Wayman Starks (Keyboards/Programming),

everybody aboard the “Party Train” and have audiences “ Y e a r n i n g ” for more as they recreate
the sound that we all know and love. Together, their influence, along with some very talented
newcomers, will resonate with fans old and new all while ensuring their musical legacy continues
