Soul and funk supergroup Tower of Power will headline the 2016 Concert Under the Stars, a fundraiser for the Greenhouse Project in Carson City. The concert outside of Cafe at Adele’s, will be July 14. Ticket sales will be announced soon, said Adele’s owner Charlie Abowd via his Facebook page.
Bay Area based Tower of Power has been delivering its heavy-hitting style of soul music to its fans worldwide since 1968. Among TOP’s most popular songs are "You're Still a Young Man", "So Very Hard to Go", "Soul With a Capital S", "Soul Vaccination", "What Is Hip?", and "Don't Change Horses (in the Middle of a Stream).”
Previous Concert Under the Stars have featured The Little River Band, Ambrosia, Pablo Cruise, War, Booker T. Jones and Friends.
The Greenhouse Project began in 2008 and serves as a teaching facility for hands-on training programs that emphasize environmental stewardship, the importance of outdoor activity, civic engagement and academic achievement. Through these programs, students cultivate and distribute vegetables for school culinary classes and local food banks and produce flower baskets for the downtown Carson City corridor.
In addition to providing youth educational and vocational opportunities, The Greenhouse Project also serves the needs of Carson's low-income community by increasing access to fresher, more nutritious food supplies.
The project promotes revitalization of Carson City's downtown commercial corridor by enhancing its appearance through horticultural arts.
