CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers

The name of guitarist, composer and producer Nile Rodgers is forever connected with the worldwide disco hit Le Freak with his band CHIC. But he also wrote and produced an enormous string of hits for many artists; starting with We Are Family for Sister Sledge and ranging from David Bowie, Diana Ross, Debbie Harry and Duran Duran to Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga. He scored one of his biggest hits to date with Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams on Get Lucky and as recent as last year picked up two Grammys for his work on Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. Rodgers is still touring the world with CHIC, raising the roof at every festival he attends by playing a set full of global hits he wrote and produced. Be prepared to dance!
