Once in a Lifetime Sessions with Nile Rodgers
Not only has Nile Rodgers mastered the art of producing, songwriting, and composing -- he’s also the lead guitarist and co-founder of the greatest ever live dance band, CHIC. Once in a Lifetime Sessions with Nile Rodgers sees Nile discuss the passion and faith he holds for his music which leads to the rise of CHIC, the careful politics of working in a recording studio, and his relationship with legendary bassist Bernard Edwards. In this Session Nile performs live on stage, with his legendary band, CHIC, in London, raising the roof with classic hits including I’m Coming Out, Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), Le Freak, Lost in Music, We are Family and freestyling while ending the show with an audience immersive medley take on Good Times / Rapper’s Delight. In the vinyl recording session Nile lays down new versions of some of his most iconic songs; Everybody Dance, I Want Your Love, Good Times, and a rendition of Let’s Dance, a track he famously produced for David Bowie. Delivering a masterclass, he deconstructs classics, Everybody Dance and Good Times, as well as discussing his hit collaboration with Daft Punk on Get Lucky, giving a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a modern-day musical genius and providing a truly once in a lifetime experience for fans new and old.
