We can’t hide our excitement. Earth, Wind & Fire is coming back to NJPAC! The GRAMMY® Award-winning supergroup is responsible for some of the funnest, funkiest tunes of all time: “September,” “Shining Star,” “After the Love Has Gone,” “Sing a Song.” It’ll be a “Boogie Wonderland” for two nights at NJPAC. Get your tickets to one or both performances, and “Let’s Groove!” “Earth, Wind & Fire proved the power of black music. The awesomely talented band rose to prominence in the Seventies by bringing together the sounds that came before it —jazz, blues, R&B, pop, gospel, African roots, funk, and deep soul—making an impact that transcends race, cultures, and time. One of the tightest ensembles since the Count Basie Orchestra, Earth, Wind & Fire are legendary for their stage shows, a spectacle of magic, muscle, and musicianship.” –The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
