Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.02.2008
The Funk Brothers will come out from the shadows of Motown to perform as part of UApresents' 2008-09 concert series opener Friday night.
This group of session musicians has played with some of the best to ever record in Detroit, including Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye.
They'll be joined by Mary Wilson, who was a member of the Supremes from the start in 1959 when they were known as the Primettes. Wilson stayed with the glamorous, hit-making Supremes until they broke up in 1977.
The concert begins at 8 p.m., and tickets are $27-$67 through the Centennial Hall box office, 621-3341.
