KC Brings Sunshine Sound Back to the Triangle
Harry Wayne Casey is relaxing at his home in Miami, reflecting at age 74 on his successful life in music. Most people don’t recognize him by his full name, but in the world of pop music, he is the “KC” of KC and the Sunshine Band, the singer and songwriter for one of the most successful and influential bands of the 1970s. From 1975 to 1979, the group brought a dose of funk to the disco era with a remarkable string of No. 1 hits: “Get Down Tonight” (1975); “That’s the Way (I Like It)” (1975); “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty” (1976); “I’m Your Boogie Man” (1977); and “Please Don’t Go” (1979).

It specializes in both non-alcoholic beverages and those with alcohol — hence The Tipsy Twosome is available to work all kinds of events including ones involving both adults and youths at venues including churches. “I can do it all,” said Allison Johnson, who recently left her job as financial sales manager with First Citizens Bank in Mount Airy and is devoting full attention to the new business. This is exemplified by its offering of “mocktails,” a non-alcoholic mixed drink. Mocktails are designed to simulate the complex flavors, presentation and experience of a traditional cocktail without the booze, including fancy straws and other garnishes. “Kids like it,” Allison Johnson said, with dirty sodas also part of the pair’s product line for gatherings such as parties, many of which are non-alcohol in nature. “We did our first event in November for the
