Greeneville, Tenn. – Earth, Wind & Fire is simply one of the most important, influential, innovative and commercially omnipotent contemporary pop music bands of the 20th century. Their 35-year history produced million and millions of albums sold worldwide (including eight double-platinum albums, two platinum albums and three gold albums).

The influence and timeless signature sound of Earth, Wind & Fire is crystal clear in the course of many R&B masterpieces. They produced dance classics such as “Boogie Wonderland”, and “Let’s Groove”. Other hits include “Got To Get You Into My Life” and “Sing A Song”.

Earth, Wind & Fire and the founding members have eight Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, honors from the NAACP and BET and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The coup de grace: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2000. With a catalog of mega-hits over three decades Earth, Wind & Fire remains to this day one of the top globally-popular touring attractions.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers showcase the elements that made them one of the most important R&B acts in history, brassy horns arrangements, exotic, African-accented percussion; and the starkly contrasting lead vocals of founder Maurice White’s mellifluous baritone and Phillip Bailey’s still impossibly high falsetto…the creative fire will come to life on stage at Niswonger Performing Arts Center. This is one of the most exciting shows ever to be presented in the Tri-Cities.

The show will be on Sunday, July 20th at 7:30 p.m. For tickets or more information, contact NPAC box office at (423) 638-1679 or visit the website at http://www.greenevillenpac.com NPAC is located adjacent to Greeneville High School at 212 Tusculum Blvd.
