Heads up, fairgoers! The Great New York State Fair is about to get groovy. Get ready to dance! Sister Sledge 2024, the amazing singing sisters from Philly, are coming to Chevy Court on Friday, August 23rd at 6 pm. These ladies are disco royalty, and they’re bringing the party atmosphere. It’s gonna be fun!
Meet the Sledge Sisters
Imagine this: Three super-talented sisters, Kathy, Debbie, and Kim Sledge, singing songs that make you wanna shake your hips and belt along at the top of your lungs. Their album “We Are Family” from back in ’79 was a total smash, but they’re all about more than just the music. These sisters spread nothing but love! Here’s why Sister Sledge is so much more than just another band:
- Anthems That Move Your Feet
- “Lost in Music“: You know that feeling when the beat takes over, and you’re lost in the groove? Yep, that’s this disco classic.
- “He’s the Greatest Dancer”: It’s like a musical pep talk—celebrating uniqueness and letting your inner dancer shine.
- “Thinking of You”: Soulful, heart-tugging, and impossible not to sway along.
- Stages Fit for Legends
- They’ve graced the hallowed halls of Carnegie Hall and rocked Madison Square Garden.
- Across the pond, they wowed crowds at London’s Royal Albert Hall and got the Pyramid Stage grooving at Glastonbury.
- Oh, and they sang for the White House and even serenaded Pope Francis. Talk about a global groove!
- Gold Records, Platinum Hits, and Grammy Nods
- Their walls are adorned with shiny Gold and Platinum plaques.
- The album “African Eyes” snagged them GRAMMY Nominations left and right. Think Record of the Year, Best R&B Duo or Group, and Best Produced CD.
- Fun fact: “We Are Family” made it into the Library of Congress in 2017. Yep, they’re officially part of history.
- Keeping the Funk Alive
- After the loss of Joni Sledge in 2017, the show went on. Founding member Debbie Sledge leads the charge, backed by musical genius MD Dominic Amato.
- The Sledge family affair includes Camille, Tanya, Thaddeus, and David—each adding their magic to the mix.
In a Nutshell
As the sun dips behind the New York State Fairgrounds, join the chorus of “We Are Family.” Let’s honor Joni’s memory, dance like nobody’s watching, and remind ourselves that “Nothing is Greater than Love.” See you at Chevy Court, New York! 🎶🕺💃
