Sister Sledge

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Sledge sisters became household names and a symbol of unity with their 1979 world-wide hit and iconic album ‘We are Family.’  Now, fairgoers can get up and sing along to their album’s title song “We are Family” and so much more when Sister Sledge and their family, Sledgendary, take the stage on Chevy Court on Friday, August 23 at 6 p.m.

The legendary vocal group are responsible for some of the biggest dance anthems of all time. “Lost in Music,” “He’s the Greatest Dancer,” and “Thinking of You” are universally cherished songs that bring people together in love, life, and soulful groove.

Sister Sledge has performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, London’s Royal Albert Hall, and Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. They have also performed at the White House, and even before Pope Francis during the 2015 World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA.

Over the years, the family-group has amassed a string of Gold and Platinum hits and earning hundreds of awards and commendations, including GRAMMY Nominations for Record of the Year, Best R&B Duo or Group, and Best Produced CD for their ‘African Eyes’ album. Their worldwide anthem We Are Family was entered into the prestigious Library of Congress in 2017.

Sister Sledge, now featuring more of the Sledge family following the passing of Joni Sledge in 2017, continues the group’s sensational legacy. Under the vocal direction of founding member Debbie Sledge and the genius of MD Dominic Amato, along with an ensemble of insanely talented musicians, the group has achieved a ‘Sledgendary’ place in the entertainment industry.  Specializing in BRINGING THE PARTY with the family’s classic hits, Debbie Sledge, Camille Sledge, Tanya Ti-et, Thaddeus Sledge and David Sledge make one funky family affair. They continue to deliver the ‘Sledgendary’ message that “Nothing is Greater than Love,” honoring sister Joni Sledge’s memory, and spreading joy with music that uplifts and celebrates life, love, and togetherness.
