Legendary funk and disco outfit Nile Rodgers and Chic will headline the Tobin Center’s annual benefit concert, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1. Chic, helmed by guitarist Rodgers, brought its stripped-down, groove-oriented funk to discos across the nation, racking up chart topping hits including “Le Freak,” “Good Times” and “Everybody Dance.” The group collaborated with Sister Sledge and Diana Ross, and bassist Bernard Edwards’ snappy lines continue to be sampled regularly by hip-hop artists.
