Over the course of two memorable evenings in June 2018, legendary soul-funk-R&B outfit Tower of Power returned to Oakland, the city that started it all, to celebrate its landmark 50th anniversary with a few thousand friends, family and fans. The window-rattling grooves and raucous party spirit of ToP has been a balm for the soul throughout the band’s half-century existence, but the release of 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater – Oakland, CA – June 2018 couldn’t have come at a better time.

Hilary Kaufmann and Robert Watts have known one another since 1994, but their musical paths didn’t converge until 10 years ago, when Kaufmann recruited Watts to play bass and drums in a church band she led. They began writing together, then recorded an EP and started performing around town as These Fine Moments. That led to touring, and more recording, and before they knew it, they’d logged 10 years of fine folk-pop moments. They’re celebrating that milestone with the Feb. 26 release of their fifth album, Season 10; on Feb. 28, they’ll live-stream a free performance at 6 p.m.
