Average White Band Funk Finale Farewell Tour

On Friday, October 11, at 8pm, the Buffalo State Performing Arts Center welcomes Average White Band as part of their Funk Finale Farewell Tour. Average White Band, one of the soul and funk bands of all-time, will bring their farewell tour right here to Buffalo State. The group will perform their biggest hits and fan favorites, such as the number one hit songs: Pick Up the Pieces, Cut the Cake, Queen of My Soul, Walk On By, Schoolboy Crush, Let’s Go Round Again, and so many more. Formed in London in 1972, the band-somewhat incongruously given their Scottish roots, took influences of their R&B heroes such as Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, and Jazz greats Cannonball Adderley and The Crusaders. The group’s consistently accomplished song-writing helped them achieve several Gold and Platinum selling albums and multiple Grammy nominations with Atlantic Records. Having remained a perennial fixture at top venues and festivals across the world for over 50 years, the Average White Band’s farewell tour is the not-to-be-missed last chance for multiple generations of fans to experience the musical energy and trademark sound of one of the world’s truly great soul bands.
