FRIDAY 4TH JULY
Summer concert series Live at York Museum Gardens have announced Nile Rodgers & CHIC as the latest headliner for July’s weekend of unique performances. The disco funk trailblazer is bringing his iconic band to the grounds of the city’s cherished landmark on Friday 4th July, alongside very special guest Jalen Ngonda and more to be announced.
An innovator in every sense of the word, Nile Rodgers has undoubtedly had a hand in shaping contemporary music as we know it. A founding member of CHIC, Rodgers is responsible for perennial hits such as ‘Everybody Dance’, ‘I Want Your Love’ and ‘Good Times’, which has become one of the most-sampled songs of all time. A prolific producer and creative collaborator too, Rodgers has worked with a multitude of likeminded musical legends including David Bowie, Madonna, Coldplay, Beyoncé and Daft Punk; with their indelible 2013 collaboration ‘Get Lucky’ now one of the UK’s best-ever selling singles.
Joining Nile Rodgers & CHIC is the captivating Jalen Ngonda. The US-born singer and songwriter found his voice in Liverpool and will be bringing his transatlantic blend of classic soul, hip hop and contemporary jazz to York for the first time this summer.
