Foxwoods Welcomes the Isley Brothers to the Grand Theater

The
Isley Brothers consist of brothers Ron and Ernie Isley. The founding members of
the band were Ronald Isley, older brothers Rudy & Kelly and younger brother
Vernon. Originally formed as a gospel quartet,
following the death of brother Vernon, the
remaining trio launched a career into doo-wop scoring with their first million-selling hit single, "Shout," in 1959. From
1973 until 1983, the group became one of the few successful black groups to
successfully cross over into the pop charts due to their mixture of soul, funk
and rock thanks to the albums, 3 + 3 and The Heat Is On. The
group has been awarded with accolades including inductions to the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as well as the R&B
Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.
