Average White Band: Scottish Funkmasters at B.B. King's

Widely regarded as one of the funkiest funk bands in the history of funk, Average White Band (known to fans as AWB) has been a musical mainstay since they were first founded in Dundee, Scotland more than 40 years ago. Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental mega-hit "Pick Up the Pieces," the band's influence has only grown as acts like the Beastie Boys, TLC, Nas and A Tribe Called Quest have sampled their soulful (and undeniably funky) beats. With multiple Grammy Award nominations and several Gold albums to their misleading name, come see for yourself why this band is anything but average at B.B. King Blues Club.
