The Birchmere 3701 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22305
Join The Birchmere in celebrating American funk band, War, on their 50th Anniversary Tour!
War is from Long Beach, California and is best known for the hit songs "Spill the Wine", "The World Is a Ghetto", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer".
Formed in 1969, War was a musical crossover band which fused elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, and reggae. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. War was also subject to many line-up changes over the course of its formation, leaving member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan as the only original member in the current line-up; four other members created a new group called the Lowrider Band.
Tickets are $59.50/person.
