Classic R&B, Bingo Specials, Barbecue and Brews  

WORLEY, Idaho (Sept. 1, 2017) – September will be jam packed with food, brews and music at Coeur d’Alene Casino.

Rounding out the month are two classic R&B groups: The Original Lakeside and Bar-Kays, performing Sept. 30 at Bringing Back the Funk night.

The Original Lakeside, formerly known as the Ohio Lakeside Express, was formed by a group of high school students more than 27 years ago. Since their small beginnings, the group has hit the charts with songs like “Outrageous,” “All the Way Live” and “Raid.” Their 1980 hit single “Fantastic Voyage” was covered by Coolio in 1994.

The Bar-Kays arrived on the scene in 1966 bringing soul, R&B and funk to the masses with hits “Soul Finger,” “Son of Shaft” and “Boogie Body Land.” They began as the house band for Stax Records, backing artists like Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes. Now, more than 40 years later, their songs are still featured in movies like “Spies Like Us” and “Superbad.”

The night will be full of funk classics with the bands performing all their greatest hits; tickets start at $25.
