The Family Stone Is The Official Sly And The Family Stone Touring Band

The Family Stone is the only band officially authorized by the legendary Sly Stone to carry on the legacy of his iconic music.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2025 @ 9:00AM CST

Folsom, CA (May 27, 2025) – Led by Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee and founding member Jerry Martini, The Family Stone has kept the music of Sly and the Family Stone alive on stages around the world and in the hearts of everyday people for the past 25 years. To celebrate this milestone, The Family Stone is planning a major tour that will hit cities across America and around the world and will include a tour stop in the U.S. Capitol of Entertainment, Las Vegas.

Formed in San Francisco (1966), Sly and the Family Stone made history as America’s first major multi-racial, multi-gender touring band. Their infectious blend of funk, soul, R&B, rock, and psychedelia propelled them to global fame. Fronted by the visionary Sly Stone, the band’s original lineup included his brother Freddie Stone (guitar), sister Rose Stone (keyboards), Jerry Martini (saxophone), Larry Graham (bass), Greg Errico (drums), and the late, great Cynthia Robinson (trumpet).

Affectionately known as “Papa J,” Jerry Martini helped shape the band’s revolutionary sound. “Sly and I formed a lifelong bond when I nudged him into leading the band in 1965,” says Martini. “Our influence helped shift the landscape of popular music in ways that still resonates today.” Carrying the torch forward is powerhouse vocalist Phunne Stone— daughter of Cynthia Robinson and Sly Stone. Her electrifying performances honor her parents’ legacies while forging a bold path of her own. Sly is proud to witness her vocal prowess in performing his music on stage. Today, The Family Stone remains true to its original mission: to uplift and unite. Still multi-racial and multi-gender, the band continues to inspire audiences of all ages to STAND for peace, equality, and everyday people.

OMG Media Solutions aka OMG Studios is the official media and production management company for The Family Stone. Led by OMG Media’s Monique Linder, she reflected on why the music of Sly and the Family is critical in current times. “The original members of Sly and the Family Stone created a sound so unique in the 60s that still reflect the times and relevancy 60 years later.” Linder added, “Based on the influence and inspiration of Sly and the Family Stone, the documentary “Sly Lives” by Ahmir Thompson (Questlove), illustrates how great artists like Prince, P-Funk, Michael and Janet Jackson, Arrested Development, Outkast and many others, succeeded in creating their own unique sound.”

The upcoming Everyday People tour will roll-out with historical concert footage from “Woodstock” and “Summer of Soul.” Supported by storytelling and guest appearances by original members, the tour will educate and transfer the great catalog of music to future generations. The tour pays tribute to the late Cynthia Robinson, who was the first and only female, African-American trumpet player ever to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Linder stressed the importance of the tour’s humanitarian mission, which emphasized proximity to everyday people in communities across America; to show love and support and the need to be kind and care for one another. This, we dedicate to the late great Cynthia Robinson, co-founding member of Sly and the Family Stone.

2025 OMG Studios’ Music Innovation Lab In Full Force with The War and Treaty

The 2025 Innovation Music Lab Cohort is in full force!

In its 2nd official launch year, we are proud to welcome six amazingly talented youth to the 2025 music innovation lab, whose ages range from 14-18. The name of their band is The Black Note.

OMG Studios Director, Monique Linder commented on the importance of transferring knowledge to youth . . .

“On March 25th, we were blessed with a Music Innovation Lab Session with Michael and Tanya Trotter of The War and Treaty during their first “Plus One” tour stop in Minneapolis, MN. This is an important element of OMG Studios’ immersive music lab instruction, learning the music business from professional artists, musicians, entertainment lawyers and industry experts. The War and Treaty shared their brilliance with the youth, and the parents in attendance, after a 15-minute The Black Note set of four songs performed for Michael and Tanya Trotter of The War and Treaty. It was such a beautiful evening bearing witness to the impact and responsibility that Artists have to pass their knowledge to present and future generations. Our goal is not to have a dark space where knowledge dies in the music sphere between generations.”

Three years ago, OMG Media successfully piloted the program before opening OMG Studios in 2024, by partnering with the MN State Fair to feature the band Ujamaa Music Group on the International Bizarre Stage. In 2024, OMG Studios opened its doors in the Creative Enterprise Zone in Saint Paul, with 3,200 square feet of professional, state-of-the-art production space, that includes a recording studio, podcast studio, live event performance space, artist green room and an innovation lab course instruction space. The innovation lab participants are immersed into live OMG Studios’ productions shadowing professional audio and production engineers.

The students commit to a full year of sessions that include a mix of classroom, immersive lab instruction and live events activities for youth at differing levels of arts, literature and music technical skills. Participants discover their passion along the way and connection to the artist they are and strive to be.

We are grateful to The War and Treaty for the time they spent pouring their knowledge and support into the youth. We are grateful to the parents of these incredible young people, for their commitment and support in teaching their children to honor the music greats that came before them, and recognizing and supporting the talent their children were born with.

These sessions are extremely valuable to participant progression in understanding the business of music (good and bad), developing their stage presence, and learning how to protect themselves in an industry known for exploitation. Michael and Tanya Trotter were extremely generous with their time spent answering questions from the youth, and their parents.

Chance The Rapper at the MN State Fair (Concert Recap)

As an Artist, Chance The Rapper is driven by the love he receives from his adoring fans. He responds by pouring love into his artistry, that is next level when it comes to creatively speaking truth. There is something truly pure and innocent about the way he connects his music to his fans in his latest Star Line project. He bears his soul in his music and leaves it all on the stage.

You may have heard that Chance released a song titled “3333,” which was his response to his agents asking him to cancel the show due to low ticket sales. The song opens with a funky beat and goes right into a story about the days when he would perform for 17 people. He goes on stage and still sees 17 people that showed up for him, referencing the 3,333 people that purchased tickets is why he would never cancel a show.

If you are into “numerology” the number 3 is Chance’s favorite number and the number “3333” is referenced as an angel number associated with the energies of joy, optimism and enthusiasm. The study of numerology reveals the numbers “3333” signify a strong presence of divine guidance and that angels and spiritual guides encourage tapping into your creative abilities and to authentically express yourself.

After watching Chance The Rapper’s MN State Fair concert, you could feel his joy, optimism and enthusiasm and the divine presence of our ancestors and angels encouraging him to be his true authentic self.

The next morning I received an email from his team inviting us to Chance’s private listening session that took place at a meeting center at Mall of America . . .

Hey Monique! Thank you so much for coming out and supporting Chance tonight and throughout the week! Chance was just mentioning you and the Innovation Lab Youth and would love to invite you all to his private listening experience event “Writing’s on the Wall” taking place at 9:30pm CT.

This listening session experience was a heavy mix of visual projection and surround sound, including lyrics visually displayed on screen. Everyone experienced this production while lounging on bean bags with glow in the dark headphones. Loved the “No Cell Phone” policy which forces everyone to be present in the moment. Chance gave me Prince vibes when he popped out of a side door into the space, and when he spoke from behind the drapes, as you were hearing and not seeing, welcoming you aboard the Star Line Cruise . . . This is your Captain. The Star Line journey was magnificent!!!

What we heard from Chance during his private listening session . . .

Chance freely exposed vulnerability when he explained how his past two albums did not resonate with his base which made he shy away from putting out music for a period.
Chance reads all social media comments.
Chance spends quality time with his children just being a dad.
Chance is unapologetically independent as an Artist.
Chance is constantly working on innovative ways to deliver his music.
Chance was raised in the church.

“As a creative that has been in the game for sometime, I feel like Chance The Rapper is just getting started.” ~Monique Linder, OMG Media Solutions

Becky G at the MN State Fair Grandstand (Concert Recap)

Becky G created many friends at the MN State Fair yesterday with her energetic, multifaceted and expansive mix of reggaeton, regional, Chicano, Hip-Hop and R&B, leaving the audience in awe of her beautiful voice and stage presence at the MN State Fair Grandstand last night. The audience kept singing “Becky . . . Becky . . . Becky” in between songs. It was a @BeckyG love fest. She emotionally accepted the love and gave the ultimate performance back to the audience. Backed by dancers and DJ, Becky G’s performance was artistically beautiful and her talent is outstanding.

As the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, born and raised in Inglewood, Calif., Becky is no stranger to hardships and is passionate about her community. She uses her massive platform to speak out against inequality and raise awareness on social issues, including Black Lives Matter and DREAMers, and has made it a point to give back to her community.

Her tribute to the artist that inspired her most, Selena, was beautiful and included film footage of Selena, which showed an astounding resemblance.

Hail to the Queen @BeckyG!!!!
