The Original Family Stone, live in concert at Red Rock Resort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rock_Resort_Spa_and_Casino) in Las Vegas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas%2C_Nevada), November 2006. Jerry Martini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Martini), Rose Stone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Stone), and Cynthia Robinson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Robinson).


Since the mid-1990s, various Family Stone members have collaborated on projects with other members of the band. On May 25 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_25), 1997 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997), Sinbad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_%28actor%29)'s Soul Music Festival was held in Aruba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruba). One of the performances reunited four members of the Family Stone: Larry Graham, Rose Stone, Cynthia Robinson, and Jerry Martini. Robinson and Martini joined Graham Central Station when Larry Graham revived it later that same year, and the band toured with Prince, a noted admirer of Sly & the Family Stone. On her own, Rose Stone provided guest vocals to Fishbone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishbone)'s 2000 cover of "Everybody Is a Star", which also features vocals by Gwen Stefani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Stefani). The cover was included on the album Fishbone & the Familyhood Nextperience Present: The Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx, released on March 21 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_21), 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_in_music).
In 2003, the members of the original Family Stone, except Sly Stone and Larry Graham, reunited to record a sixteen-song studio album. By 2005, Vet Stone, Cynthia Robinson, and Rose Stone's daughter Lisa Stone were in a band simply called Family Stone, whose debut album is being produced by Sly Stone. The band was formerly called Phunk Phamily Affair and was renamed by Sly in December 2005. Jerry Martini also maintained a band called FamilyStoneExperience. Several Sly & The Family Stone alumni joined the tour, including Greg Errico, Cynthia Robinson, Dawn Silva, and Gail Muldrow. FamilyStoneExperience joined several festivals with James Brown, Jefferson Airplane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Airplane), and George Clinton. Both acts served to carry on the legacy of Sly & the Family Stone, and performed both Family Stone songs and original material as parts of their respective repertoires.
After the Grammy performance, Rose Stone, Cynthia Robinson, and Jerry Martini decided the time was right for a reunion tour. Together with modern funk musicians, they took the stage as The Original Family Stone.[62] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_and_the_family_stone#_note-35) Their tour is scheduled through 2007, and has taken them to over seventy-five cities through Europe and the U.S.

28th July -Sly and The Family Stone

Sly and the Family Stone are one of the most influential bands in music history. They are credited as one of the first racially integrated bands in music history, belting their message of peace, love and social consciousness through a string of hit anthems that fused R&B, soul, funk and rock n roll. On 'Different Strokes by Different Folks' a stylistically, culturally and racially disparate group of chart-toppers mirrors that idealistic diversity. There was no precedent for Sly & the Family Stone.The band featuring original members including Sly Stone, make a very special appearence at The Opera House - their first and only UK date in over 2 decades. With hits such as "Dance to the Music" and "Family Affair", this show is a must see for any age, whether you are 10 years old or 100.
