Experience Jazz-Funk Pioneers Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

The Blackbyrds is a jazz-funk and R&B band from Washington, D.C., known for tight grooves, soulful hooks, and smooth horn lines. If you’re tracking The Blackbyrds tour, you’re following a group whose sound helped shape jazz-funk for more than five decades. Formed in 1973 under the mentorship of jazz legend Donald Byrd, they fuse syncopated rhythms with danceable melodies that light up a room.

Their breakthrough arrived quickly: “Walking in Rhythm” climbed to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, introducing their sleek, radio-ready side to a wider audience. Albums like The Blackbyrds (1974), Flying Start (1974), and City Life (1975) anchored a run of releases that delivered fan favorites such as “Rock Creek Park,” “Do It, Fluid,” “Happy Music,” and “Time Is Movin’.”

Founding drummer and vocalist Keith Killgo reformed the group in 2012, continuing the legacy with fresh lineups and faithful performances of their classic catalog. Today, they remain active and celebrated for the very elements that made them influential in jazz-funk and R&B—groovy basslines, soulful vocals, and improvisational flair.
