THE POINTER SISTERS Come to Van Wezel

Known for hits such as "I'm So Excited," "He's So Shy," "Slow Hand," "Jump (for my love)," "Neutron Dance," "Automatic" and "Fire," The Pointer Sisters return to the Van Wezel on Thursday, April 2 at 8 p.m.

The Pointer Sisters are music industry legends, securing a place in pop music history as a dynamic female group. They were the first black female group to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and they were the first contemporary act to perform at the San Francisco Opera House, releasing a live recording of the performance.

In 1994, the ladies receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In recent years, the group has performed with some of the greatest symphony orchestras in the world, including San Francisco, Jacksonville, Atlanta's symphony orchestra and the renowned Boston Pops.

Ruth, Issa and Sadako perform the music of The Pointer Sisters all over the world.
