In 1969\, music l egend Maurice White birthed the music force named after the elements from his very own astrological charts. With soul as deep as the plant\, Earth\, Wind & Fire charted a history that will live on forever. \nThey’ve scor ed eight number one hits and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. They’ve released 23 albums. Eight of those albums went Double Platinum a nd hit the Top 10\, making them one of the best-selling artists of all tim e. They’ve won an impressive nine Grammy Awards including one for Lifeti me Achievement (2012). In 2000\, Earth\, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, cementing their lasting impact on popular mu sic. Their contributions to arts and culture were acknowledged in Washingt on DC with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in 2019. The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery also awarded Earth\, Wind & Fire with its Portra it of a Nation Prize. \n2020 marked a year-long celebration of Earth\, Win d & Fire’s 50th anniversary in entertainment that has taken them all aro und the globe playing sold out concerts. In 2021\, they celebrated the 45t h anniversary of their chart-topping 1975 hit “Can’t Hide Love” and released a reimagined version of the track titled “You Want My Love.” They won Best R&B Tour at the 2022 Pollstar Awards. \nFor their record-bre aking success\, they’ve also been awarded with Lifetime Achievement hono rs from ASCAP\, NAACP\, BET\, and have star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their reach extends to heads-of- state. They have been invited to perform for Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama\, who said in an interview w ith Rolling Stone that Earth\, Wind & Fire was a “rhythm and blues and p op staple.” \nWith timeless songs and commitment to spreading positivity \, Earth\, Wind & Fire has consistently made music that has bridged the ga p among all generations and nationalities. With a sound that blends funk\, jazz\, pop\, soul\, and R&B\, Earth\, Wind & Fire launched a musical genr e that can’t be confined to a specific label except their own. From the funky and infectious “Let’s Groove” to the timeless dance classic “September” to the heartfelt “Reasons\,” Earth\, Wind & Fire’s c atalog of hits has become the soundtrack to many lives\; now\, then and fo rever. \nThey continue to influence musicians from all generations and gen res. Music giants Michael Jackson\, Stevie Wonder and Prince have studied and hailed their artistry. While many of today’s chart-topping artists i ncluding Lenny Kravitz\, Pharrell\, Justin Timberlake\, Kendrick Lamar\, C hance the Rapper\, and Solange have declared themselves super fans. Alicia Keys has called Earth\, Wind & Fire “the best band ever” and Mary J. Blige showed her love by recording their song “Imagination.” And the b and shared the stage with Black Eyed Peas performing on the half-time show at Super Bowl XX1X. \nTheir achievements are equally matched by their gen erosity. Over the years the band has supported various charity organizatio ns including the Make a Wish Foundation\, Race to Erase MS\, the American Cancer Society\, and the Human Society. In 2007\, leader Philip Bailey fou nded Music Is Unity\, which helps youth in foster care successfully transi tion into adulthood and provides music instruments to youth with musical a spirations but lacking the resources. Co- founder\, Verdine White has led important initiatives with the Girls & Boys Club of America and opened The Verdine White Foundation in Los Angeles as a mecca to serve youth with mu sic scholarships and other programs. \nIn 2016\, Maurice passed and his me moir\, My Life with Earth\, Wind & Fire was released posthumously. In 2014 \, Philip Bailey released a memoir Shining Star: Braving the Elements of E arth\, Wind & Fire. \nThe music of Earth\, Wind & Fire is more alive than ever as they continue to inspire new audiences and thrill those who have b een with them from the beginning. Like the elements in their name\, Earth\ , Wind & Fire’s music has withstood ever-changing trends in the world an d shows no sign of vanishing as they continue to create joy and uplifting music that will forever reach a sacred universal atmosphere.

She has released five albums\, sold over five m illion records\, composed music for television\, and received two GRAMMY n ominations.

After 2024’s beloved collaboration album\, Stampede-which featured such icons as Willi e Nelson\, Kylie Minogue\, Elton John\, and more-the masked singer took on an entirely new challenge: Broadway. In his mesmerizing\, layered debut a s the Emcee in Cabaret\, Peck won legions of new fans and critical acclaim in kind during his 128-show run in the celebrated production. \nUprooting his life from California to New York City for nearly half a year\, the Po ny and Bronco singer-songwriter found newfound musical\, lyrical inspirati on wherever he turned. “I was trying to challenge myself with being more vulnerable with songwriting\, and I think that experience felt so insanel y vulnerable for me\,” he says of the doors Cabaret unlocked. “Obvious ly I was performing without my mask\, which was so new for me\, but the na ture of the material being so heavy-with me going in really wanting to do a good job-pushed me to even more new levels of vulnerability.” \nSomeho w\, between rehearsals\, performances\, and martial arts training for a st arring role in a late summer movie shoot (Street Fighter\, due out in 2026 )\, he kept finding his mind returning to music. So he did what he always does: he started writing\, and linked with Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Ja cob Portrait (Alex G\, Porches\, Lil Yachty\, and more) to start crafting the songs that would eventually make up Appaloosa. The seven-song EP reuni tes Peck with longtime collaborator Noah Cyrus on “Atchafalaya\;” pays tribute to his Cabaret stint with a cover of the Sally Bowles’ number “Maybe This Time\;’ and plumbs new emotional ground with “Oh My Days ”-which the artist calls his “first-ever love song\, considering that I always write about heartbreak\, not love.” \n“I always tend to sing and write about what’s going on in my life\, and that felt like a natura l\, big part of my life that’s evolved since Bronco-which was very much about coming out of a relationship\,” Peck says. “This is the first ba tch of songs that are about the start of this new relationship\, and the f ears and doubts and insecurities that come with new feelings for someone\, especially after coming out of such a tumultuous time in the Bronco world . These songs are about a time when I felt very nervous about being heartb roken again\, and what it meant to fall in love again for the first time i n a long time.” \nPeck recorded Appaloosa in Brooklyn during rare free w indows in his calendar. Its title\, he says\, felt like slipping on a glov e. “An appaloosa is a famously spotted horse\, and in some ways\, to me that represents a singularity-a uniqueness\,” he says. “In my mind\, I picture a bunch of different horses all standing around\, all different b reeds\, but you would notice the appaloosa standing out because their coat is so distinct and so unique. These last few years\, since Bronco\, a big part of my own path has been really embracing who I am\, realizing that m y confidence was always really greatly affected by being insecure about my uniqueness instead of embracing it.” \n“I think in some ways\, at the moment\, I feel kind of like an appaloosa\,” he adds. “I’ve finally accepted I just am and will probably always be or feel different\, I thin k. But instead of that feeling alienating like it used to for most of my l ife\, now it makes me feel excited and happy and lucky to feel different. I’m in my appaloosa era right now.” \nThat freedom-creatively\, person ally\, professionally-unlocked a desire in Peck as he embarked upon the Ap paloosa process. “This year\, I got to do so many things that were lifel ong dreams\, so much so that I’m actually now adamantly happy that I don ’t fit into those rooms and boxes\,” he says. “I made a conscious de cision on this album to return to as pure of a place as I could. When I ma de Pony\, I didn’t have an audience\; no one knew who I was\, no one car ed\, and I didn’t have anybody to answer to. There were no expectations on me whatsoever\, and when there’s no ears or eyes on you\, you can rea lly make art for yourself.” \nAppaloosa is\, in every sense\, a project based on “what I wanted to hear\,” Orville says. “It was entirely ab out what I wanted it to sound like without caring about how it would be re ceived or understood.” In that sense\, he was able to return to his root s “in terms of production and songwriting and sound\,” he says. “I w as going back to references that I really liked when I was a teenager-ther e’s all these shoegaze-y\, alternative moments on the album. It allowed me to pivot to where I came from\, having learned a lot of new things alon g the way.” \nFree of expectations\, what Peck created is one of his mos t exhilarating and alive bodies of work yet. Throughout Appaloosa’s seve n songs\, fans will hear Orville at his most unburdened\, creating for the sake of artistic expression. Tone-setter “Dreaded Sundown” opens the project “cinematically\, laying out this new flavor and telling this sto ry about being okay being alone with yourself\, especially after a period of pain and betrayal.” \n“Drift Away” follows\, inspired by Orville ’s childhood love of alt-rock acts like the Pixies\, the Breeders\, and the Smashing Pumpkins. “I wanted it to be an ode to being an outsider in a small town\, me and all my fellow freaky friends living in a sleepy tow n\, looking for ways to get up to fun.” Noah Cyrus joins him on “Atcha falaya\,” a track that chronicles his journey from California to New Yor k for Cabaret\, putting his personal life and the things he loved on hold to “do the other things you love”-all wrapped in lyrics trailing the r oute from Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin up to the Big Apple. \nUpon arri val in New York\, there’s a heartbreaking cover of what he calls “lyri cally a country song in a lot of ways”: “Maybe This Time\,” a salute to his debut on the Great White Way. “In the show when Eva Noblezada wo uld sing this one\, I would be busy doing a really crazy quick change\,” he says. “But I would be adamantly trying to go faster and faster each time so I could run to the side stage and watch her finish. It covers so m any nuances of what the human experience.” \n“Oh My Days”-his “fir st love song\, I think!”-tells the story of finding his partner and thos e feelings that come with the first love after the worst love. “My body was walking towards him\, and my heart and my soul were running in the oth er direction because I was so traumatized\,” he says. “‘Oh My Days ’ is about talking yourself out of something that you know is making you happy because you’re frightened-and overcoming those fears\, too.” \n “Oh My Days\,” Peck says\, has been burning a hole in his back pocket for four years\, waiting for the right project to find its home. But “My Side of the Mountain” came from more raw experiences\, chronicling a br eak with his partner during which both needed “to take some time to work on ourselves\,” he remembers. At the time\, both lived literally one ca nyon apart in Los Angeles. “I would lay awake at night knowing that he w as literally 10 minutes away from me over the other side of the mountain\, ” he says. “So this song is an ode to what I was going through at that time-that I could probably shout loud enough and he could hear me\, and t he idea of letting someone go\, even if it’s just temporarily\, to focus on yourself.” \nAppaloosa closes with “It’s the End of the World\, ” a song Orville started writing the same day as the 2024 election. “T he most important thing I think that we can do sometimes is to try and car ve out happiness where and how we can find it\, especially in times when i t is just so easy to get disheartened about what’s going on in the world \,” he says. “This was my way of grabbing the person next to me and ju st saying\, ‘You know? Eff it\, let’s Thelma and Louise it and just tr y and find some happiness in all of this despair.'” \n“I’d call this one a positively nihilistic anthem about the world burning\,” he adds w ith a chuckle. \nPromising a much shorter wait between projects\, Orville says he’s already begun thinking about and writing his next musical chap ter. “Even in some of the absolute most hopeless\, hard\, dark times of my life\, art and specifically music has been what has saved my life over and over again\,” he says. And I don’t even mean just making it. I mea n getting to enjoy it. So my hope is that even though we are in what feels like such bleak times that people will still continue to make art that fe els like it is important or matters or helps people.” LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T104745Z URL:https://edgefieldconcerts.com/events/276992-orville-peck/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Edgefield Concerts X-SOURCE-URL:https://edgefieldconcerts.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Parcels - LOVED Tour 2026 DTSTART:20260925T013000Z DTEND:20260925T033000Z DTSTAMP:20260831T051036Z UID:11918-1790274600-1790274600@edgefieldconcerts.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Originally formed in Byron Bay\, Australia\, back in 2014\, Pa rcels now operate in a dual-location setup\, with members scattered betwee n Australia and Berlin\, Germany.
