FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Isley Brothers to Perform at Wind Creek Atmore

ATMORE, AL – (4/11/2025) GRAMMY® award-winning musical group, the Isley Brothers, will take the Wind Creek Casino & Hotel Atmore (WCA) Amphitheater stage on Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 9pm. Tickets are available for purchase at ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets and The W Store.

There is only one band in the history of American music that has had a proven influence on both the Beatles and Ice Cube, and has had a hit in eight straight decades, from the ‘50s until now. That is the mighty Isley Brothers, one of the most significant groups in the history of popular music.

Formed in the mid-’50s as a teenage gospel quartet by the eldest four Isley Brothers (O’Kelly, Rudolph, Ronald and Vernon), the original configuration of the group quit performing when Vernon was tragically killed at age 13 while riding his bike. In 1957, at the urging of their parents, the remaining three brothers moved to New York City to make it as a rock ’n’ roll band, and the first song they wrote together was “Shout!”—a massive smash that had multiple lives thanks to its inclusion on the Animal House soundtrack, and is probably playing at an event near you, right now.

From that first single and album in 1959, the Isley Brothers repeatedly redefined what their music was and what it was called, and dominated the black music charts like no band before or since. The Isley Brothers can count both Jimi Hendrix (who toured as their backing guitarist in the early ‘60s) and Elton John (whose band backed the Isleys up in the U.K.) as backing musicians, and have arguably the most legendary run of albums in R&B history. After early rock ‘n’ roll success, and an incredible detour with Berry Gordy and Motown Records (two albums, including This Old Heart of Mine), the band released all of their albums independently on their own T-Neck Records, reinventing R&B over and over again in the process.

The Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, in a class with their former backing guitarist, Jimi Hendrix. The group was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2022 and was honored with a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. If you have a pulse, there is an Isley Brothers album for every mood that one may ever have. They have an incomparable catalog of songs and albums that has more styles and vibes than any other

band from their era. They have sold millions of records, with sixteen of their albums hitting the Top 40 and all of them powerhouses on the R&B charts, and sold-out countless arenas world-wide.

As evidenced by their latest studio album, 2022’s Make Me Say It Again Girl, which was a critical and commercial success that featured other superstar artists including Beyoncé, Earth Wind & Fire, El DeBarge and Snoop Dogg, the mighty Isley Brothers have not slowed down. The Isley Brothers are forever, living legends still rocking crowds more than 60 years after they first taught us how to “Shout.”
