Rare Essence Concert Tickets
Witness one of the earliest successful go-go bands live in concert once you purchase Rare Essence tickets today on TicketSmarter. The hometown heroes hail from Washington, D.C. and formed in 1976, going on to become one of the most prominent music acts in the city. Originating out of music-loving childhood friends, their early stages as a band consisted of performing songs by popular funk groups like Con Funk Shun, Parliament-Funkadelic and Cameo.
As the go-go dancehall style of music picked up more mainstream popularity in the 70s, the group took on more members and began finding their sound within the genre and at the end of the decade were packing venues for their shows. They began releasing their own music in the 80s, with singles like “Body Moves” and “Give It Here” hitting the scene as they released a number of live albums. Their debut studio album, Work the Walls, was released in 1992 and featured the single “Lock It” which was heard on the soundtrack of the film Strictly Business. The group has collaborated with acts like Redman and Snoop Dogg, the latter of which they released the 2020 single “Hit the Floor” alongside.
