The Gap BandThe Gap Band was founded by Ronnie Wilson in 1967 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and comprised of multi-instrumentalist brothers Ronnie Wilson s Pentecostal church in Tulsa. There, their mother was the churchs pianist, and the boys sang every Sunday before their fathers sermon. Ronnie, the oldest, started the group when he was fourteen and eventually recruited his younger brothers to play in the band, which they named after streets in the heart of Tulsas historic African American business district, Greenwood, Archer, and Pine coming up with the acronym GAPThe Gap Band recorded their first album, Magicians Holiday (1974), for Shelter Records, owned by fellow Tulsan Leon Russell. Their success really took flight in 1979 after they moved to Los Angeles. The group scored a Top Five RShake (1979), followed by other 1980s RSteppin Out and I Dont Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops, Up Side Your Head). The 1982 pop hit You Dropped a Bomb On Me exhibits their trademark, bass-heavy style and the silky, smooth vocals. The band continued recording into the twenty first century.Tickets: $45-$55__________________________________________CLUB POLICIESSeating is First Come, First Served$10 Food or Beverage Minimum Per Person Full Bar & Full Dinner Menu AvailableNo refunds or exchange.
