Some artists retain their popularity not by constant recording, but through steady touring—by presenting concerts that never fail to entertain. This month, funk stars Tower of Power are bringing a new brand of dance grooves to the masses.

With songs like “You’re Still a Young Man” and “What Is Hip?,” Tower of Power catapulted to soul success in the ‘70s. Though their star eventually faded, they remained a musical presence by supporting huge acts like Santana, Aerosmith and Elton John.

Though their horn-backed original songs have seen them through the years, the band recently released an album of covers titled Great American Soulbook. Throughout the new LP, Tower of Power takes on classic artists like Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin to great success, leading fans to hope that a second volume will soon be in the works.

Tower of Power appears at the South Point Showroom September 11, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40, $45 and $50.
