It will perform at the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi on March 16, while on March 17 the group will perform at the India Gate as part of the ongoing Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Indian Air Force.

The seven-member band plays popular hits from the 60s through the new millennium and has a repertoire of top quality rock-and-roll, R&B, country music and original a cappella arrangements, according to a release from the American Embassy in New Delhi on Wednesday.

The multi-talented group reaches across the Far East to perform troop morale and community relations concerts, treating audiences to a taste of American popular culture.

The lead vocalist and sole woman member, Staff Sergeant Felita A Rowe, has even performed with big names like Stevie Wonder and The Miracles.
