Have Some "Sunshine" For Christmas

                           

Have yourself a Merry Little Sunshine Band Christmas!

  

No matter your distance from the equator this holiday season, the multi-platinum selling, Miami-born dance group,KC and The Sunshine Band, delivers A Sunshine Christmas. The brand new 12-track album is now available in stores and on iTunes, Amazon and other digital realms. With four of the album's tracks penned by lead singer, Harry Wayne "KC" Casey, A Sunshine Christmas fuses original never-before-heard songs with holiday favorites from decades past including "The Little Drummer Boy," "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Last Christmas," "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Carol Of The Bells,"and "Go Tell It On The Mountain."

The sunny new music though seasonal, is cheery and upbeat for all-year round, and is infused with the band's signature sounds of trombone, saxophone and trumpet which helped to make mega hits like "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," "That's The Way (I Like It)," "Get Down Tonight," "Boogie Shoes," among a multitude of others, so wildly memorable.

Months in the studio to record the band's latest studio album, Feeling You! The 60s, (March 2015), spurred KC to write, record and produce a holiday album that would challenge the traditional cold-weather themes which make up much of today's popular Christmas music. Instead, with the new project, KC and his band strive to bring its listeners to the beaches of Miami where The Sunshine Sound was born.

"I've always loved the holidays… It's my favorite time of the year. A friend had said to me, 'You know, KC? There's never been a Christmas album done 'Sunshine Band' style.' The wheels started turning, and 'Jingle Bell Boogie,' was written in just a few days," said KC, who's been widely dubbed the Founder of The Dance Revolution since his reign in the 70s.

"Some of the tracks are classics that the band and I have put our own spin on over the years, like 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,' and then there's new material, like 'Jingle Bell Boogie,' which came from my heart. The remaining tracks like 'Carol Of The Bells," are classics reimagined in a way unique to me and my band," he added. "I hope when friends and family are gathered together celebrating, or co-workers are cutting loose at their holiday party, that my record will be playing in the background and bringing some happiness as we look back on the blessings we've enjoyed over the past year."

The award-winning Unity On The Bay Choir, which hails from South Florida, joins KC as the background chorus on the ambient stand-out track, "Carol Of The Bells," and premiere track "The After Christmas Song," penned by KC, kicks off the album with an addictive drumbeat as it wishes listeners a "Happy New Year" at Christmas's end. Colorful cover art of an animated beachfront complete with lighted palm trees, blue parrots and a bright shining sun successfully communicate the tropical essence of the project as a whole.

A Sunshine Christmas was co-produced by Harry Wayne "KC" Casey, the group's lead singer, and Eric Lue Young, with Marc Burrows as a co-producer on select tracks. It was recorded at Circle House Studios in KC's hometown of Miami, Florida for Sunshine Productions, Inc. and distributed in partnership with Sony RED.

To purchase, please visit iTunes, Amazon and other select retailers. For more information on KC and The Sunshine Band, please visit www.heykcsb.com.

"Forty years later I feel like I'm back in 1975. Coming to 2015, and the 40th anniversary of 'Get Down Tonight' going to No. 1, has been an interesting process. That creative flow we got going in '73, '74, that's what I'm feeling now. I know that in 1984 we wanted to get away from it all, we were tired of it all, but this [new music] has reinvigorated me, and I think I'm writing better than I did back then. Lyrically, I think it's better, [and] it's much more mature. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels good." Featuring covers of songs by sixties legends like Ben E.

KC and the Sunshine Band Will Be "Feeling You" In 2015

Features Songs by Sixties Legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie DeShannon, Aaron Neville & More

Face it everyone loved KC and the Sunshine band at the height of their popularity in pop music. Who could resist songs like "Shake Your Booty" & "I'm Your Boogie Man?"

Well they have a new album of 60's covers coming in 2015, yep KC and the Sunshine Band are going to be "Feeling You" in the New Year, oh yes they are!

 

KC and The Sunshine Band dominated the 1970s, ruling the airwaves with a unique meeting of Caribbean, pop, R&B and latin styles that inspired infectious grooves and the distinctive Sunshine Sound, producing such #1 hits as “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes,” "Shake Your Booty,” and many more. Before he impacted the world, teaching them how to boogie, Harry Wayne “KC” Casey was, like the rest of America, being shaped by the music, conflicts, innocence, sex, social and political movements and counterculture of the 1960s. “The widespread social and political issues of the 1960s was, in part, the inspiration to do something that would make people forget about their problems and be happy,” said Casey. “People were looking for something that would divert their attention from the negative aspects of everyday life surrounding them.” KC and The Sunshine Band pays tribute to the era on March 10, 2015, with Feeling You! The 60's. The album, part one of the two-part Feeling You project, features covers of songs by sixties legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie DeShannon, Aaron Neville and many more (full track listing below). “I’m excited for my fans to hear this album,” said Casey. “I really went outside of the box vocally and creatively. Feeling You! The 60's is autobiographical, showing how I feel about love, life and the world through the music of that era.”  Feeling You!
