One of the great soul and funk bands of all time brings its farewell tour to the Center, performing its biggest hits and fan favorites such as the U.S. No. 1 single “Pick Up the Pieces,” “Cut The Cake,” “Queen of My Soul,” “Walk On By” and “Schoolboy Crush.” Formed in London in 1972, the Average White Band took the influences of R&B heroes such as Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, along with jazz greats like Cannonball Adderley and the Crusaders, and developed a sound that connected with audiences worldwide. The performance coincides with the second annual Carmel Jazz Fest.

Special Guest: Toronto-based electro jazz duo Four80East will open the show.
