Known for their expansive musical range and impeccable musicianship, the original trio, powerhouse vocalist/keyboard wizard Peter Lord, vocalist multi-instrumentalist V. Jeffrey Smith and soul siren Sandra St. Victor will perform cuts from their swansong set “Moon In Scorpio” for the first time in its entirety, with their stomp-down, funk-filled concerts. Their first stop will be in New York City at the Cutting Room on March 25^th.The Family Stand are also in the studio recording their next album, with plans to release the first single this year.

Stated Sandra St. Victor, “New York is where The Family Stand was born and bred in the foundation of Ebbets Field bricks in Brooklyn. Coming back to the city is like coming back home to play for family and some new music. They’re our biggest supporters, and our worst critics at the same time. We’re excited and stoked to be in front of our tribe again. We’re ready!”

The Family Stand will stimulate audiences with their sizzling stagecraft and memorable imprints, performing songs like ”Plantation Radio,” and “The Education Of Jamie,” that turn topical political content into eargasms. At another end of the spectrum will be “Ghetto Heaven,” the song that became their biggest hit back in the 90s, with the Soul II Soul remix becoming a stand out track from the release, gaining plays in every club in the world. “Ghetto Heaven” was also revived in 2000 by rap artist Common on his best-selling “Like Water For Chocolate” album as a duet with D’Angelo with Macy Gray featured as the female vocalist in the European remix video for the song.

Together with former artists of Paisley Park, The Family Stand and other select artists will join together in concert to continue to carry out the icon’s generosity and contributions he founded, that support youth programs dedicated to the education, enrichment and expression of music, tech and the arts. “Prince’s charitable support provided opportunities for so many others to help fulfill their dreams in music and in the arts. He was our dear friend, and iconic genius who touched the world with his gifted talent. We are so honored to support Prince’s initiatives, and continue to carry out his vision, his spirit and generosity to our communities,” commented St. Victor.
