Walking on Planet C

The Next Show

I'm thinking about how to make the CHIC portion of the show better on the way to The Next Show

I'm thinking about how to make the CHIC portion of the show better, while riding on the bus on the way to The Next Show.

We're getting more creative every show. The band is getting freer. We're improvising more. The orchestra can follow us under maestro Robert Groslot's direction. I can't wait to see how it develops by the end of The Next Show.

You can follow all the tour dates

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.

Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
