Average White Band at Paramount Hudson Valley: Regarded as one of the top Soul, R&B, and Jazz-Funk groups—first known for the timeless instrumental hit “Pick Up the Pieces”—the Average White Band has distinguished itself with its diverse songwriting and unique approach to rhythm & blues. With multiple gold and platinum albums, and three Grammy nominations on the legendary Atlantic label, they were the first Brits to simultaneously top the US Top 100 Singles, Albums and R&B charts, before going on to garner similar UK and international honors.
