Top disco group KC and the Sunshine Band is the latest act to sign on to perform at the 13th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival, which will take place on the island from June 25 to 27, 2009.

“We are excited to be a part of the music festival and we are looking forward to a great time performing for everyone in St. Kitts,” said Harry “KC” Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band. “We’ll see you at the show!”

“KC and the Sunshine Band will further strengthen the variety as well as the international stature of the 2009 St Kitts Music Festival,” said Senator Ricky Skerritt, Minister responsible for Tourism. “The fact that their songs have survived four decades tells me that Music Festival attendees of all ages will be able to sing along, adding to the overall festive atmosphere of the event. This promises to be a performance that should not be missed.”
