Two bands famous for powerful and wide-ranging performances will be center-stage for Thursday night of Circle K and Kangaroo Speed Street presented by Coca-Cola in Uptown Charlotte May 26.
The two bands, The Voltage Brothers and Sol Fusion, will kick off three days of Circle K and Kangaroo Speed Street presented by Coca-Cola entertainment with a high-energy show, full of familiar songs, great vocals and powerful horn sections. Admission is free.
The Voltage Brothers are often referred to as “America’s No. 1 show band,” performing top hits from most every genre. Sol Fusion, playing in its hometown of Charlotte, will impress with hits from decades past and today’s radio hits.
“This is going to be an awesome way to open Circle K and Kangaroo Speed Street presented by Coca-Cola,” said Jay Howard, president of JHE Production and 21-year producer of the annual event. “The Voltage Brothers and Sol Fusion are going to bring such a party feel to Uptown Charlotte. It’s the type of music everyone is going to enjoy. It’s going to be a fun night.”
The Voltage Brothers’ play list covers a wide range including rhythm and blues, Carolina beach music, disco, funk, Motown and even classic rock hits.
They have appeared with a vast variety of artists like Frank Sinatra, The Temptations, Kool & The Gang, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Earth, Wind and Fire. They have performed at two presidential inaugurations and nine Super Bowls.
