(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents KC and The Sunshine Band - Doin' It World Tour 2025 on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 8:00pm. KC and The Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 50 years ago.
Harry Wayne Casey—KC for short—developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way (I Like It)," and "Shake Your Booty."
With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy® nominations, three Grammy® Awards, and an American Music Award, KC and The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the '70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music. Today, KC and The Sunshine Band play over 100 live shows annually, circling the country and playing dates regularly throughout Europe, Australia, and South America.
