EWF Experience

EWF Experience comes to Sweden and Big Stage EWF Experience, drawing on the musical legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire legend Al McKay, comes to Sweden for an evening filled with funk, soul, iconic hits and the energy that has made Earth, Wind & Fire one of the best-loved bands in

music history.

EWF Experience is more than a tribute band. With roots in Earth, Wind & Fire's original members and their musical legacy, the band conveys the same soul, groove and joy in performing that have made classics such as September and Sing a Song timeless.

At the heart of it all is Al McKay, the Grammy-winning guitarist and songwriter behind several of Earth, Wind & Fire's greatest successes. To keep the music alive after the band went on hiatus in the 1980s, he founded Al McKay Allstars, which later evolved into EWF Experience.

Today, the band is led by singer Tim Owens, who has been part of the group for over 20 years. With the support of musical director Ben Dowling, he carries on the legacy with respect, authenticity and passion, while the music continues to inspire new generations.

The result is a concert experience in which Earth, Wind & Fire's timeless catalogue is brought to life by musicians who have lived and breathed this music for decades.

THE BAND – PURE MAGIC

Bands that stay together for decades are rare. EWF Experience is proud to be one of them.

Many of the band's members have played together for more than 20 years, developing a musical chemistry that can neither be achieved through rehearsal nor copied.

What emerges on stage is pure magic – a natural flow of tempo, dynamic interplay and spontaneous brilliance, created in the moment.
