KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND AND JAVIER COLON TO PERFORM IN THE POWERSTATION EVENTS CONCERT SERIES

HARTFORD, Conn., April 27, 2012 – Travelers Championship officials today announced a sponsorship with Powerstation Events to host musician Javier Colon on Wednesday, June 20, and KC & The Sunshine Band on Saturday, June 23, for the tournament’s concert series. The concerts will begin around 7 p.m. – soon after the last golfer of the day finishes his round – and will be held in the SUBWAY® Fan Zone located in the center of the course.

“With the support of Powerstation Events, we are excited to announce these significant musical acts coming to our event in 2012,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “KC & The Sunshine Band and Javier Colon are sure to put on a great show for our fans. As with all of our events, these concerts will not only provide entertainment, but will help raise additional funds for our charities.”

KC & The Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 40 years ago. Harry Wayne Casey – KC for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It)” and “Shake Your Booty.” With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award, KC & The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music.

Connecticut native Javier Colon captivated America in 2011 as winner of the inaugural season of NBC’s hit television show “The Voice.” No stranger to the music business, after touring with The Derek Trucks Band for two years, Colon released two major label albums via Capital Records – “Javier” in 2003 and “Left of Center” in 2006. In 2010, Javier released “The Truth – Acoustic EP” on his own label, Javier Colon Music, before accepting the audition for “The Voice” in early 2011.

Original song and debut single, “Stitch By Stitch,” not only clinched the top prize on “The Voice” for Colon, but it also became something of a phenomenon. During the first week of its digital release, the song exceeded sales of 145,000 and peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
