A Few Moments with Lonnie Jordan with WAR

Lonnie Jordan — the voice, keys, and heartbeat of WAR — is headed to Annapolis for two intimate nights at Rams Head On Stage on September 25 and 26, 2025, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Why Can't We Be Friends?. Tickets available! I caught up with Lonnie to preview the shows: what the band is bringing to a close-up venue like Rams Head, how the anniversary set differs from a standard WAR night, and which deep cuts, medleys, and story moments he's weaving between the hits. We also dug into carrying the legacy as the last founding member onstage, the "pocket" that makes a WAR groove feel like WAR, and how a band called WAR has spent five decades singing about unity and connection. With era-defining songs like "Low Rider," "Why Can't We Be Friends?," "The Cisco Kid," and "Spill the Wine," WAR's music has topped charts, soundtracked films and stadiums, and been sampled across generations — and now you can experience it shoulder-to-shoulder in one of the most intimate rooms on the tour.
