THE Commodores' founder and hit writer Thomas McClary and his band make a rare UK appearance at The Anvil this month.
They'll perform hits like Brick House, Easy, Nightshift, and Three Times a Lady as well as the new single Mr. Cool Breeze in the venue on Friday, January 30 at 7.45pm.
The Commodores, including guitarist Thomas McClary and saxophonist Lionel Richie, made their mark on music history when the group signed with Motown Records in 1972.
Together, McClary and Richie wrote many songs, and the group performed to packed arenas, even opening for The Rolling Stones.
Although it is not common knowledge, McClary wrote or co-wrote thirty of the original Commodore group's hits, sometimes singing lead vocals as well as playing lead guitar.
After a hiatus, McClary is once again touring with The Commodores.
Thomas McClary and his band energise the famous guitar licks from three decades of music history as well as their new release, America, which was co-written by Thomas and his son Ryan McClary.
"The Commodores songs and our love of music live on," said McClary. "After taking some time for myself, I'm back on stage and in the studio to make music."
