About Tower of Power
Tower of Power unleashes a dynamic fusion of funk, soul, and R&B, powered by their legendary horn section that delivers punchy, soul-stirring riffs and infectious grooves. With a sound that’s equal parts gritty and polished, the band channels raw energy through tight rhythms and Emilio Castillo’s soaring sax lines, creating anthems that get crowds moving. Formed in Oakland in 1968, they’ve notched standout achievements like the 1973 hit ‘What Is Hip?’ from Back to Oakland, Grammy nominations, and collaborations with giants such as Santana, Aerosmith, and Huey Lewis. Their high-octane past performances at venues from Woodstock ’94 to global festivals showcase a timeless vibe that blends precision with pure exhilaration, keeping fans hooked for over five decades.
