Pepper 'Em with Love Gala
This exciting evening includes a seated dinner and live entertainment at Mission Ballroom in Denver. Gala attendees will enjoy a cocktail hour, red carpet opportunities with senior dogs, live and silent auctions, an inspiring program, and an unforgettable 60-minute benefit concert by Wilson Phillips.
If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom-made for WILSON PHILLIPS. Literally born into the business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips had vocal harmonies in their DNA. Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of famed group The Mamas & the Papas.
Carnie and Chynna have been friends since birth. They knew each other even before Wendy was born. Best friends growing up, the three of them often shared their love for music, specifically vocal harmonies. In 1989 the group was signed to SBK Records, and their debut album was released in 1990.
Their debut album had three number-one singles: HOLD ON, RELEASE ME, and IMPULSIVE. It sold five million copies in the U.S. alone and was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow-up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number-one single, YOU’RE IN LOVE. Over their storied career, they have sold over ten million albums worldwide, becoming the best-selling female group in recorded music history.
Taking a break from recording and touring, all three married and are still married to their first husbands, and collectively raised nine children as very hands-on Moms. Returning to recording in 2004, they released three albums on Sony - their take on California classics (CALIFORNIA), a wonderful Christmas album (CHRISTMAS IN HARMONY), and a tribute album, singing the hits of their beloved parents (DEDICATED). All three albums charted in the Billboard Top 50 and get airplay to this day.
Their career's most unexpected “surprise” was their appearance in the comedy classic BRIDESMAIDS in 2011, singing HOLD ON. Jud Apatow, the director, never told them they were in the final scene and the punchline of the entire movie. They just thought it was a simple “wedding scene” performance. Today, that classic scene has secured their place as one of the most beloved harmony groups ever. These best friends continue to record and harmonize with each other, more recently releasing a harmony-rich version of Harry Styles’ song BOYFRIENDS in November of 2022.
Pepper ‘Em With Love sponsorship opportunities are available to showcase brands and their dedication to the PSDS community.
