" I want to take you higher..." Who can forget the electrifying images of Sly and the Family Stone performing this classic hit during the Woodstock Festival of 69? The infectious energy that emanated from the band consumed the thousands in attendance, transforming the moment from a mere musical performance into a foray through the possibilities of musical existentialism. In other words, Sly did manage to take them higher...

Fast forward some forty years and behold another coterie of electrifying musicians ready to take you to another level - Ascension. The name itself means to go higher. Ascension is Atlanta's newest and hottest party band with shows reminiscent of the classic performances of the past like Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic, and KC and The Sunshine Band. A good stage show is, in itself, enough for some bands to eke out a living. Ascension has taken the party band concept to another level. Their stage show is incredible and their musicianship is exceptional! All musical genres are covered from Mozart to Mary J. Blige. Whether you desire Motown/Beach, R&B, Classic Rock, Country, or Jazz Ascension is definitely the band you want to party with.

The band consists of one sultry, sexy female ('Chelle) on lead vocals. Chelle was the one the Commodores had in mind when they wrote Brick House (Sho nuff can knock a strong man to his knees...). Chelle is an awesome show lady and a crowd favorite. Then there's Raheem (Rah) on co-lead vocals. When it comes to making the ladies swoon, Rah is king. With vocals reminiscent of the great Smokey Robinson how can he lose? The two powerhouses on the front line are accompanied by the tightest rhythm section heard since the heyday of James Brown and his band. Put it all together and you have transcended the average party band. You've been taken to another level. You've gone higher. It's called Ascension.
