WAR performs an eclectic and entertaining mix of Funk, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Rock & Roll – all fused together with elements of Latin and Reggae. Original lead singer, Lonnie Jordan, has always been the voice of WAR and is one of the most versatile and musically talented men of the twentieth century.

From years on classic vinyl to modern video game soundtracks, WAR’s music is a timeless thread in the quilt of American pop culture. WAR is not a band. WAR is a Movement!

WAR has been repeatedly honored with 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards. Today, WAR is a permanent part of America’s pop cultural landscape and has profoundly impacted the music industry. In 2014 the "new" WAR released a new studio album titled, “Evolutionary”. Also in 2014, the band was named as nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. WAR’s accomplishments have not been limited to the 60’s and 70’s. Over the last few years WAR has been quite busy performing live on stage and on popular programs with Cheech and Chong to George Lopez to Jimmy Kimmel. The band can boast over 1,000,000 digital downloads and 100,000 CDs sold each year. WAR has had a profound influence on contemporary American music and has been embraced by media around the world. Funky, fun, iconic and talented, WAR will definitely bring audiences to their feet dancing and singing along. Their extraordinary and famous music is perfect for big music festivals, casino showrooms, concert halls, and events for those who appreciate a great time! "Righteous, Righteous, Righteous!!! Brought back memories when they were young and played at Long Beach Poly in the early 70's." –Jonney Mac, City National Grove, Anaheim, CA "The music was funky and fantastic. The groove was incredible!" –Vincent S., Carter Barron Amphitheatre, Washington, DC http://selakentertainment.com/musicians/war.

  • Our Instruments and Voices Became Our Weapons of Choice and the Songs Our Ammunition
    WAR The year was 1969, and these 'kids' had the nerve to carry the name WAR at a time when peace was the slogan in an anti-Vietnam America. "Our mission was to spread a message of brotherhood and harmony". Original Band Members included; Lonnie Jordan - singer/keyboardist, Howard Scott - guitars/ vocal, Lee Oskar - harmonica, B.B. Dickerson - bass vocals, Harold Brown - drums/ vocals, the late Thomas "Papa Dee" Allen - congas/timbales and Charles Miller - saxophonist/flutist. "Our instruments and voices became our weapons of choice and the songs our ammunition. We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It's just as apropos today" WAR, the original street band, was brought together by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein ("My Boyfriend's Back", "Hang On Sloopy", "I Want Candy") and rock legend Eric Burdon (ex-lead singer of the top British band The Animals). "I first saw some of the guys who would eventually become WAR playing at a topless beer bar in the San Fernando Valley, backing Deacon Jones, the pro football player, and knew immediately how potent these kids were," states Goldstein. "I was friends with Eric and he was ready to throw in the towel on the music scene and return to Newcastle. He was tired of the 'rock' thing and desperate for a fresh authentic sound. I called him the morning after I first saw the band and made him return to the club the next night with me. Eric was so blown away by what he had heard that he jumped on stage to jam with them.
