FREE! Saturday's Headliner, The Chuck Brown Band
The Chuck Brown Band is the official band of the late Chuck Brown, “The Godfather of Go-Go,” and the founder and creator Go-Go music, a hypnotically danceable genre deeply rooted in funk and soul that Brown developed in the early 1970’s in the District of Columbia.
Today, Chuck Brown’s son Wiley Brown (Wiley B), who has been around music since the age of four with his father, is the lead singer of the band. He started rapping as a youth but after Chuck’s passing, joined the Chuck Brown Band. Wiley B’s lead vocals and looks on the 2021 single and video “Summertime” by the Chuck Brown Band sparked even more comparisons amongst Go-Go fans to his father. Out now is their 2024 single, “Loose Control,” featuring Treasure Joy.
