sharonjonesEveryone’s favorite funk/soul band Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings are ready to unveil their new album I Learned The Hard Way.

Debuting April 6th, the fourth album from the group promises to continue in the revival of 70s funk. The Brooklyn-based big band has been making waves since they came up on the scene in 1996.

To get their fans excited on their newest release, Daptone Records is giving away the track “I’ve Learned The Hard Way” for free. Just sign up on the mailing list to get the mp3.

Also, to make sure that they have the best possible reception, Sharon and Co. are keeping their festivities in their pseudo-hometown of New York, taking over The Apollo Theater April 30th. Check for tickets here.
